New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed election in-charges for four states where assembly polls are scheduled for later this year.
On Monday, the party appointed Union ministers Bhupendra Yadav and Ashwani Vaishnaw as in charge and co-in-charge for Maharashtra, while Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan and lawmaker from Tripura, Biplab Deb have been appointed as in-charge and co-incharge for Haryana.
In both the states the BJP’s performance in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls has been subpar. In Maharashtra where the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comprised of the BJP, NCP (Ajit Pawar) and the Shiva Sena (UBT), the coalition won just18 of 48 seats, while the opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) won 30. The Congress with 13 seats was the biggest gainer, while the BJP’s tally went down from 23 in 2019 to nine and its vote share was 43.55% as against the MVA’s 43.71%.
