New Delhi:
Revamping the party after the electoral debacle, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president M Venkaiah Naidu today (June 6, 2004) appointed former Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley as general secretaries while giving more representation to SC, ST, Other Backward Classes and women.
Pramod Mahajan, who, alongwith Sanjay Joshi, continues to be general secretary in the new team, has been assigned the task of gearing up the party for the Assembly elections in Maharashtra slated later this year.
Naidu, who kept the reconstitution of his team in abeyance after taking over as the party chief in view of the Lok Sabha elections, has given representation to all sections of society in the reconstituted Central Office Bearers, frontal organisations and national executive, party spokesman Arun Jaitley told reporters while releasing the list.
