BJP amends constitution to allow second term for Gadkari

May 24, 2012 20:40

The Bharatiya Janata Party national executive has approved an amendment to party constitution paving the way for a second term for party president Nitin Gadkari.

Till now, there was no provision in the party laws that allow any BJP president to be re-elected for a second stint.

According to the current BJP constitution, the party president could only have a three-year term.

Gadkari's re-election as the BJP president would mean that he will remain in charge of the party for the next Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2014.
