New Delhi, September 23, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a fresh list of state in-charges and co-in-charges, with 21 women leaders being assigned organisational responsibilities across states and Union Territories.
The appointments give women close to one-third representation in the newly constituted team and place them in key organisational positions involving party management, political outreach and coordination with state units.
The newly appointed leaders will oversee responsibilities including organisational expansion, election preparedness, review of party activities and strengthening coordination between the central leadership and state units.
The appointments come amid the BJP’s continued emphasis on women’s participation in political and organisational activities. The party has also highlighted women’s empowerment as a governance and political priority, particularly following the passage of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, which provides for 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies, subject to implementation under the provisions of the law.
State in-charges and co-in-charges serve as an organisational link between the BJP’s central leadership and state units. Their responsibilities include monitoring organisational activities, guiding election preparedness, reviewing booth-level operations and coordinating among party leaders and workers.
The inclusion of 21 women leaders gives them responsibilities within the party’s mainstream organisational structure, rather than limiting their roles to women-focused or specialised wings.
The latest restructuring comes as political parties continue to focus on women’s participation and engagement through welfare initiatives, outreach programmes and greater representation in political and organisational structures.
The newly appointed women leaders are expected to work with state leadership and grassroots workers on implementing the party’s organisational strategy and strengthening its network.
The appointments also come ahead of upcoming electoral contests, with state units preparing for elections and other political activities. The new in-charges and co-in-charges will be responsible for ensuring coordination between the central leadership and grassroots organisation in their respective states and Union Territories.
