The Bharatiya Janata Party has appointed Satish Poonia as its national general secretary, following his recent elevation to the Rajya Sabha.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced on Tuesday that Satish Poonia would serve as the party’s national general secretary, a senior organisational post.
Poonia, who has been a prominent figure in the party’s Rajasthan unit, was earlier elevated to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, in a recent appointment.
The new role places Poonia at the centre of the BJP’s national strategy, giving him responsibility for coordinating campaign activities and organisational matters across the country.
Party officials said the decision reflects Poonia’s growing influence and his track record in grassroots mobilisation, though no specific policy agenda was attached to the promotion.
