Delhi BJP sets age limit for block, district presidents

NEW DELHI: In a bid to groom young leaders, the Delhi BJP has set an age limit for block and district presidents to be appointed in the party’s reorganisation in the coming days. In a meeting of the core group of the Delhi BJP a few days ago, it was decided that the maximum age limit for block and district presidents will be 45 and 55 years, respectively, chief of the party’s Delhi unit Adesh Gupta told reporters on Thursday. Stressing that the criterion will be applied by the BJP in other states too, Gupta said in case of state unit office bearers, there will not be any upper age limit. The process of party reorganisation in Delhi BJP is underway with the national leadership, in a rare move, appointing Arun Singh, general secretary and Vijaya Rahatkar, party’s Mahila Morcha president, as observers.
