Atul Garg, a BJP Lok Sabha MP from Ghaziabad, has been named as Co-Incharge. Both appointments come into immediate effect. He added that this appointment comes into immediate effect. Panda, a former MP, joined the BJP ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections after resigning from his previous party Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and stepping down as MP in 2018. Since joining the BJP, he has been entrusted with key roles, including his current position as national vice president and spokesperson for the party. He was the BJPs Delhi Election incharge during the 2020 Assembly polls as well. In January 2024, he was appointed as the partys election in-charge for Uttar Pradesh during the Lok Sabha elections. Atul Garg, an MP representing Ghaziabad, will assist Panda in coordinating the BJPs campaign efforts in the national capital. Meanwhile, a party leader said that the BJP is considering early declaration of its candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls to get a headstart over its rivals AAP and Congress. The suggestion to announce early the list of party candidates for the assembly polls due in February was also discussed in the recent Chintan Baithak (brainstorming session) of Delhi BJPs extended core committee held in Rajasthans Ranthambore, said a former state party chief. "The issue of candidate selection and announcement of names of candidates was raised by some leaders, including a party MP. It was contended that early announcement of tickets will benefit the party in campaigning," he said.
