The BJP Parliamentary Board has appointed Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya as the central observer for the party’s Bihar Legislative Party leader election.
Alongside him, Arjun Ram Meghwal and Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti have been named co-observers. The party’s choice of one Dalit and two OBC leaders sends a clear political message.
Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti belongs to the OBC Nishad community. She has previously been associated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and has also served as a Union Minister.
Her experience in social and political leadership adds weight to her role as co-observer.
Arjun Ram Meghwal is a prominent Dalit leader from the Rajasthan BJP. A former bureaucrat, he currently serves as India’s Union Minister of Law and Justice.
His appointment highlights the BJP’s emphasis on Dalit representation in key party roles.
