Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to elect its chief on January 21
NEW DELHI: After months of speculation, the BJP has now made it official — it will elect its new President on January 21, that is “if an election is at all necessary”. A communique released by BJP’s national election returning officer Radha Mohan Singh says the nominations will be done on January 20. On January 20, the nomination process for the post of BJP president will begin at 10 a.m. and will go on till 12.30 p.m. For the next hour, the filed nomination papers will be examined and another one hour till 2.30 p.m. will be provided to withdraw nominations if any candidate wishes to. But it is almost certain that J.P. Nadda, BJP’s current working President, will win unopposed and in that case, the result will be out on January 20 itself. (IANS)
