The Real Reason Behind Sanjay Saraogi’s Elevation as Bihar BJP President: Not Caste, but Organisational Prowess

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is once again drawing attention with a surprise organisational decision in Bihar. Soon after Nitish Nabin was appointed to a key national organisational role, the party named Sanjay Saraogi as the new Bihar BJP State President—a move that has sparked intense political discussion. Contrary to widespread speculation, party insiders indicate that this appointment is driven not by caste arithmetic, but by Saraogi’s proven organisational capability. With Saraogi taking charge, the BJP’s organisational strength in Darbhanga has visibly consolidated. Political observers note that this consolidation is not rooted in traditional caste-based vote-bank calculations. In fact, Saraogi belongs to the Vaishya community, and within it, to a sub-group that does not comma...

Ahead of BMC Polls, Prithviraj Chavan Criticises Congress for Losing Touch with Common People
