CURATED BY – ARVIND SINGH PAWAIYA | CITYCHIEFNEWS

Gwalior, recently the BJP state presidents of Rajasthan and Haryana were changed. After that, the discussion of changing the president in Madhya Pradesh has also started. It is almost certain that the current BJP state president VD Sharma will be given a big post in the power or organization at the center. This is the reason why the contenders for the new BJP president have laid out their chessboard. For the state president, senior leader and former minister Arvind Bhadoria has emerged as the first choice of the RSS and BJP organization. He has also got the support of former Chief Minister and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar. Apart from this, the Thakur lobby of the party along with National Co-Organization General Secretary Shiv Prakash, Regional Organization General Secretary Ajay Jamwal and Mahendra Singh, who has been made the state in-charge, is also trying hard to make him the president. This is the reason why Arvind Bhadoria's name has suddenly come to the first position. Another plus point for Bhadoria is that he is the youth face of Gwalior-Chambal. He is also close to the Sangh due to his long association with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. According to sources, there is almost a consensus on Bhadoria's name. His becoming the state president is considered certain.

With Bhadoria's name coming to the first position, the name of Rajya Sabha MP Sumer Singh Solanki, who was leading the race for the state president till now, has come to the second position. Sumer Singh Solanki is a Rajya Sabha MP and is also Delhi's choice. Apart from being a tribal leader, he also has the support of the Sangh. But the Sangh is keeping Bhadoria at the first position. Sources say that after bringing the Chief Minister from the OBC category, the organization can give the command of the state organization to a tribal leader.

One reason for this is the decreasing support base of BJP in the tribal category. In the assembly elections, BJP had to suffer a big loss on tribal seats. BJP can play this trick to regain its tribal vote bank. However, after the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, the organization is not forced to do this.

The name that comes after Sumer Singh Solanki is Dr. Narottam Mishra. His name is also in the race for the president. As the convener of the BJP New Joining Team, the way he created a record by bringing lakhs of Congress workers to the BJP before the Lok Sabha elections, it increased the stature of V.D. Sharma. Dr. Mishra's image as a skilled organizer has become even stronger in the top leadership of the organization. But due to the party giving the post of Deputy CM in the state and CM in Rajasthan to a Brahmin, his claim has weakened. Apart from this, Dr. Mishra is also lagging behind due to not being the first choice of the Sangh.

The name that comes at number four in this race is that of Minister Vishwas Sarang. This name is definitely shocking but this name has also come up in discussion for the state president in Delhi. Sources say that Sarang has left the race of Delhi and the Sangh and has taken the path of Gujarat. He is lobbying in Gujarat through leaders close to Modi Ji and Amit Shah. He has also benefited from this, his name is also in the news. His claim has weakened due to the nursing scam. But even after this, Sarang is still in the race due to his strong hold.
VD Sharma's stature increased.
However, the current state president VD Sharma is also going to get a very important responsibility soon. The top leadership of the organization is completely satisfied with Sharma's work. It is not hidden from anyone that Sharma has a strong hold in the Sangh as well. The way BJP registered a huge victory in the assembly elections and then the Lok Sabha elections under his leadership, Sharma's stature has increased even more in Delhi. Sources say that Modi Ji may not have been able to take Sharma in his team due to regional and caste equations, but it is certain that he will get important responsibility in power or organization in the coming days. Sources say that the president will be someone from these four names, but Mr. Bhadauria's claim is the strongest. The new president will be announced anytime in the month of August.
