The BJP is all set for a major change to its organizational setup in Delhi to reinvigorate the cadre following the state unit leadership change recently.
Adesh Kumar Gupta, who will take charge from tomorrow after replacing actor-turned-politician Manoj Tiwari as the Delhi BJP chief on Tuesday, said it is important to strengthen the cadre, especially in slums and unauthorized colonies.
In terms of statistics, BJP managed to win just eight of the 70 seats in the Delhi assembly elections this year as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) swept to power for a second term.
BJP leaders say Gupta is an old hand and aware of the key issues.
Delhi BJP in-charge Shyam Jaju said it is always helpful to have someone who knows the party cadre well.
Gupta yesterday criticize the Delhi government over the alleged discrepancy in the data on its mobile application on the availability of beds in hospitals. He said the AAP government has been misleading the people.
A Delhi government spokesperson conceded “teething troubles” in the app but described it as an important tool.
