BJP appoints 14-member panel to oversee Presidential polls, ‘guide’ MPs on voting

The BJP on Friday appointed Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat as head of a 14-member “management team” for the upcoming Presidential election to coordinate with State units and allies for the same. This comes after the BJP empowered party president J. P. Nadda and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to reach out to political parties to consult on the poll.

BJP general secretaries Vinod Tawde and C.T. Ravi are the co-conveners of the team. Another general secretary, Tarun Chugh, is also part of the team, according to a release issued by the party.

Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Sarbananda Sonowal, Arjun Meghwal and Bharati Pawar are also members of the team.
