The Bharatiya Janata Party has reshuffled its state leadership, naming Union Minister Smriti Irani as the party’s in‑charge of Chhattisgarh and Haryana, while Sanjay Bhatia has been appointed in‑charge of Rajasthan.
The Bharatiya Janata Party announced a reorganisation of its state‑level leadership, assigning new in‑charges for several key states. Union Minister Smriti Irani has been given the responsibility of overseeing the party’s affairs in both Chhattisgarh and Haryana.
Irani, who holds a senior position in the central government, will now coordinate party activities, strategy and cadre management in the two states, a move seen as an effort to strengthen BJP’s foothold ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Simultaneously, Sanjay Bhatia, a senior party figure from Rajasthan, has been appointed as the in‑charge for his home state. Bhatia’s role will involve directing the state unit’s campaign planning and organisational work.
The reshuffle reflects the party’s broader strategy to place experienced leaders in charge of regions where it seeks to consolidate support and address local challenges.
