Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Bilaspur MP Arun Sao has been appointed as the president of its Chhattisgarh unit on Tuesday.
Ahead of the Chhattisgarh Assembly polls, Sao has been appointed as president of the Chhattisgarh unit.
Meanwhile, in 2019 Sao was elected to the Lok Sabha from Bilaspur on a BJP ticket.
“National President of Bharatiya Janata Party, Hon’ble Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda Ji has appointed Shri Arun Sao, MP, Bilaspur Lok Sabha as the State President of Chhattisgarh Bharatiya Janata Party,” the party said.
Earlier, a former Lok Sabha member Vishunudev Sai was the BJP Chhattisgarh unit president.
Moreover, the state is ruled by Congress with Bhupesh Baghel as the chief minister. Earlier, for 15 years from 2003 to 2018, there was BJP led government. During that time the state was led by former chief minister Raman Singh.
Notably, in 2023 Chhattisgarh Assembly elections are to be held in the state.
