Two Chhattisgarh BJP leaders get key roles in new team
A big political group in India called the BJP chose two people from a state called Chhattisgarh to do important jobs.
One of them is Roopkumari Choudhary, a member of India's parliament.
She will lead the group's women's wing, called the Mahila Morcha.
The other is Deepak Mhaskey, who will be in charge of the group's social media.
