Rajya Sabha MP Madan Rathore has been appointed as the president of Rajasthan BJP with immediate effect.
BJP President J P Nadda issued the order Thursday night replacing C P Joshi, LS MP from Chittorgarh, under whose leadership the party contested state assembly election and LS polls since November last year.
Owing to party’s loss in LS Polls in Rajasthan by 11 out of 25 seats, the outgoing president Joshi recently met Union Home minister Amit Shah and Party President Nadda in Delhi and requesting them to accept his resignation.
