The Bharatiya Janata Party has reshuffled its Madhya Pradesh leadership, naming ex‑Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb as state in‑charge and Lok Sabha MP Rekha Verma as his co‑in‑charge.
The Bharatiya Janata Party announced a major organisational change in its Madhya Pradesh unit, appointing former Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb as the state in‑charge. The decision was communicated through party channels in Bhopal, signalling a fresh leadership drive ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Deb, who led the BJP government in Tripura from 2018 to 2023, will now oversee party affairs across Madhya Pradesh, coordinating cadre activities, strategy formulation and candidate selection. His experience in turning a regional stronghold into a BJP bastion is expected to bolster the party’s performance in the central state.
Lok Sabha member Rekha Verma has been named co‑in‑charge, tasked with supporting Deb in managing day‑to‑day operations and strengthening grassroots outreach. The pairing aims to combine Deb’s administrative expertise with Verma’s local political network.
Party officials indicated that the new leadership structure is intended to rejuvenate the organization and improve coordination ahead of the next state assembly elections, though no further details were released at the time.
