The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which lost the recently held elections to Karnataka Assembly by a huge margin, is not only set to appoint the Leader of the Opposition, but is also getting ready to initiate the process of an organisational rejig.
The organisational rejig has been pending since August 2022, when incumbent State president Nalin Kumar Kateel completed his term of three years. However, the party had decided to continue with him as not much time was left for the Assembly elections then. The party leaders were of the view that it would not be possible for any new president and his team of office-bearers to establish grip over the organisation within a short duration. Hence, he continued in the post.
Now, after the polls, the party is set to appoint a new president and a new team of office-bearers. This process has assumed more importance now as the new president will have the daunting task of instilling confidence among party workers and boosting their morale, besides making the organisation battle ready to face the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
