MP BJP expands state working committee, names permanent members
Bhopal, June 23
In a significant organisational move, the Bharatiya Janata Party in Madhya Pradesh has announced the members of its State Working Committee and invited them permanently.
State BJP President and MLA Hemant Khandelwal released the much-awaited lists on Tuesday.
The new State Working Committee comprises 106 prominent leaders, reflecting broad representation across the state. It includes top-tier leaders such as Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Rajendra Shukla, Kailash Vijayvargiya, Prahlad Patel, Rakesh Singh, Vishnu Dutt Sharma, Faggan Singh Kulaste, Narottam Mishra, and several other senior ministers and MLAs.
Notable inclusions on the committee are Savitri Thakur and D.D. Uike, Kunwar Vijay Shah, Bhupendra Singh, Krishna Gaur, Ganesh Singh, Kavita Patidar, Riti Pathak, Archana Chitnis, and Usha Thakur, among others.
The list features a strong mix of experienced leaders, young faces, and representatives from various social sections, indicating the party's focus on organisational expansion and inclusivity.
The committee has been divided into two parts, with members numbered 1-106.
Alongside the full working committee, the BJP has also announced a list of 41 Standing (Permanent) Invited Members. This elite list includes senior figures like Satyanarayan Jatia, Sumitra Mahajan, Vikram Verma, Gopal Bhargava, Yashodhara Raje Scindia, and several other veterans who will continue to guide the party with their experience.
Party sources said the reconstitution of the State Working Committee is aimed at strengthening the organisation ahead of upcoming political challenges and ensuring effective implementation of the party's programmes at the grassroots level.
The inclusion of both senior leaders and emerging faces is seen as a balanced approach that maintains continuity while infusing fresh energy.
With this announcement, the Madhya Pradesh BJP has completed a major organisational exercise, sending a clear message of unity and readiness.
The full lists have been made public, and party workers are expected to work in coordination with these newly appointed members.

Impressive list! Including both seasoned leaders like Sumitra Mahajan ji and fresh faces shows the party's understanding of balancing experience with new energy. The inclusion of women leaders like Savitri Thakur and Riti Pathak is a positive sign. Hope this translates into better development for our state! 🇮🇳
As an observer from abroad, I'm curious about the political dynamics here. 106 members seems like a large committee. Does this lead to efficiency or just more bureaucracy? The mention of "permanent invited members" is interesting – is this a way to keep former leaders engaged?
The party keeps talking about inclusivity but where are the young voices in decision-making roles? Most of the "new faces" are still from political families or veteran backgrounds. I hope this is not just a cosmetic change to appease the media. We need real grassroots connection! 😤
A well-thought-out move by the MP BJP. The inclusion of 41 permanent invited members ensures institutional memory is preserved. But I'm more interested in how this committee will address the common man's issues – unemployment, inflation, and basic amenities. Organisational strength is good, but governance matters more.
Interesting to see this kind of organisational depth. Coming from Canada, our political parties are much leaner. The fact that they've divided the committee into two parts and have a permanent invitee list suggests a very structured approach to party management. Would love to see if this leads to better policy outcomes.
