BJP state president Sudhir Mungantiwar yesterday sounded the bugle for the assembly and Lok Sabha elections by assigning different responsibilities to party workers in the city. While a section of workers were told to take up only organisational responsibilities, others were tasked with strengthening the party for the polls that are due in a couple of years.

Without mentioning the two factions in the city unit, Mungantiwar made clear that the election preparations in the state would be under the guidance of BJP deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Gopinath Munde, while the responsibility of the “other flank” — supporters of BJP national president Nitin Gadkari — would be to maintain the party as a well-knit unit at the state level.
