"Committed to strengthening organization": Dilip Jaiswal on re-election as Bihar BJP chief

New Delhi [India], March 4 (ANI): Dilip Jaiswal on Tuesday expressed gratitude to the top BJP leadership for his re-election as chief of Bihar's state party unit and said he will always stay committed to strengthening the organisation.
"Always committed to strengthening the organization!," Dilip Jaiswal said in a post on X.
"I thank and express my heartfelt gratitude to the top leadership and all the workers for re-electing me to the post of BJP Bihar state president! I will always remain dedicated to strengthening the organization in Bihar. I will stand with all the BJP workers in every situation. With hard work, loyalty and dedication, we will all together strengthen the organization in Bihar," he added.
Jaiswal was earlier in the day re-elected as party president of Bihar. The state will face assembly elections later this year.
Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai lauded Jaiswal and exuded confidence of NDA returning to power in assembly polls later this year.
"The BJP is celebrating the Bihar Pradesh Sangathan Parv under its new president who has been elected unanimously. We have elected a president who is experienced, simple-natured and hardworking. We have got Dr Dilip Jaiswal as the state president," Rai told reporters on Tuesday.
"The NDA government will be formed with a huge majority," he added.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary told ANI that the organisation will move forward under Dilip Jaiswal's leadership.
"Today was the organization's election, our organization festival ended today. In our state, Dr. Dilip Jaiswal became the party president, and the organization will move forward under his leadership," he told reporters here.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh said ee-election of Jaiswal will strengthen the party.
Meanwhile, the Bihar assembly witnessed a verbal exchange between Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav during JD-U leader's post-budget speech on Tuesday. In his speech, Kumar asserted that he played a "key role" in shaping the political career of Tejashwi's father, former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav.
As Kumar was making his speech, Tejashwi interrupted him, over which Kumar said, "What was there in Bihar earlier? It was me who made your father what he became. Even the people from your caste questioned me on why I was supporting him, but I still did".
Kumar had last month expanded his cabinet with seven Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs taking oath as ministers. Sanjay Saraogi, Sunil Kumar, Jibesh Mishra, Krishna Kumar Mantoo, Motilal Prasad, Vijay Kumar Mandal and Raju Kumar Singh took oath as ministers.
Assembly elections in Bihar are likely to be held in October-November of this year. (ANI)
