Bengaluru: Three-time MP Nalin Kumar Kateel took charge as the new BJP State President at a function held at Party Headquarters located in Malleswaram, this morning. Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who until now served as the State BJP President, handed over the baton to Kateel. A person with strong RSS background was appointed to the coveted post last week. He has a tough task ahead as several senior leaders are either unhappy for being denied Cabinet berth, portfolios or not being appointed as Deputy CM.
Nalin Kumar Kateel arrived at the BJP Headquarters, after offering special puja at the Kaadu Malleswara Temple located next to BJP State Headquarters. He was accompanied by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, Deputy CMs, Ministers and BJP MPs.
