BJP Appoints Sanjay Saraogi as Bihar President
The BJP, a major political party in India, has chosen Sanjay Saraogi as the new leader of its Bihar state unit.

Sanjay Saraogi is a 56-year-old politician who has been elected to the Bihar Assembly six times from the Darbhanga Sadar area.
He has also worked as a minister in the past.
The BJP seems to be going back to leaders from the Vaishya community, which is a business community in India.
Some other leaders from this community have led the BJP in Bihar before.
People in the party think Saraogi is a good organizer and will do well in his new role.
He thanked the party leaders for this opportunity and promised to work hard.
Sanjay Saraogi, a six-time MLA from Darbhanga Sadar, has been appointed as the new BJP state president for Bihar.
The appointment comes a month after the BJP's landslide victory in the Bihar Assembly elections.
Saraogi replaces Dilip Jaiswal, who is currently the state's industry minister.
The BJP has returned to its core Vaishya leadership base with Saraogi's appointment.
