Jharkhand Bjp Changes: After the defeat in Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024, BJP has formulated a strategy for organizational change. In this sequence, former Odisha Governor and former Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghuvar Das was brought back to the party on 10 January 2025. New equations have started forming in the BJP regarding his entry.Signs of leadership changeEven after Raghuvar Das joined, he did not get any post, but he was constantly in touch with the top leadership. The BJP Parliamentary Board suddenly took a big decision and elected Jharkhand BJP State President Babulal Marandi as the leader of the legislative party. This indicated that the post of state president will soon be vacant, which is likely to be handed over to Raghuvar Das.OBC-accurate mathematicsIf political analysts are to be believed, BJP in Jharkhand is now trying to woo the OBC and tribal vote bank. In such a situation, speculation of major reshuffle in the organization has intensified. The appointment of Raghuvar Das, who comes from the OBC community, as the state president may be a part of this strategy of BJP.Raghuvar Das's return from 'political death'When Raghuvar Das was suddenly made the Governor of Odisha on 18 October 2023, it was considered his 'political end'. But on 24 December 2024, he resigned from the post of Governor and expressed his intention to play an active role in the BJP again. Now his daughter-in-law Purnima Das Sahu is an MLA from Jamshedpur East, which has strengthened his political stature.What's the next step?After Holi, there is a possibility of a major organizational reshuffle in Jharkhand BJP. If Raghuvar Das is made the state president, it will be clear that the BJP has decided to give priority to OBC leadership. Now it remains to be seen who gets the captaincy of Jharkhand BJP - Raghuvar Das or some other new face?
