New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party president Jagat Prakash Nadda, who is also a Union Minister, on Tuesday appointed Haryana BJP MLA Mohan Lal Badoli as the party’s state president. He won the Rai constituency in the 2019 Haryana Assembly elections by defeating Congress candidate Jai Tirath Dahiya with a smaller margin of just 2,662 votes. However, He lost this year’s Lok Sabha election from Haryana’s Sonipat seat against Congress’s Satpal Brahamchari with a margin of 21,816 votes.
Mohan Lal Badoli has replaced Chief Minister Nayab Saini, who continued to hold the charge following his elevation as head of the state government. The Assembly polls are slated to be held in the state in a few months.
The BJP has been in power in Haryana since 2014 but the Congress displayed strong signs of revival in the recent Lok Sabha elections, winning five of the 10 constituencies in the state. MLA Badoli lost the Lok Sabha election from the Sonipat seat to his Congress rival in a close contest.
