Vinod Tawde
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, November 21
The BJP made new organisational appointments to its national team today. This included elevation of Maharashtra leader Vinod Tawde to the post of general secretary and designating Rituraj Sinha of Bihar as national secretary.
The appointments made by BJP president JP Nadda were announced by party general secretary Arun Singh.
National secretary Tawde was elevated to the post of general secretary to fill a vacancy created after Bhupender Yadav became a Union minister.
The party also appointed two national secretaries, Rituraj Sinha and Asha Lakra. The appointment of Lakra, two-time Mayor of Ranchi, is indicative of the importance being given by the party to tribal leaders. The party lost power in the tribal dominated states of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh in quick succession not so long ago.
Rituraj Sinha, son of BJP Rajya Sabha MP RK Sinha, is a youth leader from Bihar.
The party also appointed two spokespersons, Bharti Ghosh (former IPS officer from West Bengal) and Shehzad Poonawalla (who was with the Congress earlier).
