Faridabad : BJP president JP Nadda on Sunday appointed OP Dhankar as the new Haryana BJP chief; he will take charge with immediate effects.

The term of current president and former MLA Subhash Barala has already ended and the party was looking for his replacement.

In the past, Mr Dhankar has held responsibilities of several key portfolios in the first term of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

Haryana Chief Minister Khattar had recently met Nadda and discussed the issue of the appointment of new state unit chief. Several names were considered but Dhankar was chosen in mind the caste considerations in Haryana.

After his appointment, CM Manohar Lal Khattar extended his greetings on Twitter.
