The BJP has appointed Deepak Mhaskey as its new IT Cell chief, replacing Amit Malviya in a key organisational change that puts a Chhattisgarh-based political organiser at the centre of the party’s national digital operations. Mhaskey brings a professional background that stretches from Chemistry teaching and agriculture to electoral data analysis and public-sector governance.
His appointment gives the BJP’s digital team a new face with a career that is quite different from the conventional profile of a political social-media strategist.
