Rajnath Singh elected unopposed as new BJP President - Breaking News

India,Politics, Wed, 23 Jan 2013 NI Wire

In a latest development happening inside the BJP, former Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh has been re-elected party president unopposed.

Rajnath Singh and incumbent Nitin Gadkari arrived at the party office in the same car for a meeting of the party's parliamentary board, after which he filed his nomination.

Earlier, Rajnath Singh met party leader L.K. Advani.

Rajnath Singh was chosen for the BJP president's post after several senior leaders objected over giving a second term to Gadkari, who is facing corruption charges.

It is noted that Gadkari also made an announcement on Tuesday evening saying he will not seek a second term as he wanted his name cleared of the corruption charges.

The BJP president has traditionally been elected unopposed.

Rajnath's Singh's name emerged after a series of meetings involving party leaders Arun Jaitley, Venkaiah Naidu, Ram Lal and Ananth Kumar.
