The Bharatiya Janata Party has named senior leaders Smriti Irani and Ram Madhav as state in‑charges for Haryana and Tamil Nadu respectively.
The BJP announced new state in‑charge assignments as part of its organisational revamp ahead of upcoming elections. Senior minister Smriti Irani has been given charge of Haryana, while veteran leader Ram Madhav will oversee Tamil Nadu.
Irani, who serves as Union Minister for Women and Child Development, will head the party’s Haryana unit, coordinating campaign activities and strengthening grassroots networks. In Tamil Nadu, Madhav, a former party spokesperson, is tasked with expanding BJP’s presence in a state where it has historically struggled.
Party president J.P. Nadda said the appointments aim to bring experienced leadership to key states and improve coordination between the central leadership and state units, as the BJP prepares for assembly polls scheduled across several regions over the next year.
