Five-time MLA, ex-minister Sanjay Saraogi appointed BJP's new Bihar unit president

NEW DELHI/PATNA: (Dec 15) The BJP on Monday appointed Sanjay Saraogi as its Bihar unit president, a month after the saffron party-led NDA swept the assembly polls in the eastern state.

Saraogi, 57, a former cabinet minister in the Bihar government, is an MLA from Dharbhanga constituency. He succeeds Dilip Jaiswal, who was appointed to the post less than two years ago.

"Bharatiya Janata Party national president Jagat Prakash Nadda has appointed Sanjay Saraogi as the state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Bihar with immediate effect," BJP national general secretary Arun Singh said in a notification.
