January 20, 2020 11:31

As J P Nadda is all set to become the BJP president, his wife Mallika Nadda expressed happiness and said it was a very important day for the family and state of Himachal Pradesh.

Mallika said, "It is a very important day for all of us. Everyone, including family, Bilaspur and our state of Himachal Pradesh is extremely happy today as it is about a big responsibility being given to a person from such a small state."

BJP working president Jagat Prakash Nadda is all set to formally take over the reins of the party from Amit Shah today when the BJP will initiate the process of electing a new party boss.

A press statement released by the BJP Central Election Committee chief Radha Mohan Singh gave out the full schedule.

"After successfully conducting phase 1 of the BJP enrolment and expansion drive, creating 75 percent booth committees, 50 percent Mandal committees and holding election as per BJP's constitution in 21 states to elect party presidents, I am pleased to announce the elections for the post of national president of the BJP," Radha Mohan Singh said.

The time for filing nomination for the post of BJP president is from 10 am to 12:30 pm. The scrutiny of the nominations will be done between 12:30 and 1:30 pm. Any withdrawal of candidature can be done between 1:30 and 2:30 pm.

Since Nadda is likely to be the only candidate, there may not be a need for carrying out voting which would have taken place on Tuesday.
