Former top central bureaucrat and BJP's leader from West Champaran, Shri RS Pandey has been inducted into the BJP National Executive as a 'special invitee' from Bihar.

The inclusion of Shri RS Pandey comes keeping in mind the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections towards the end of this year, where the BJP is looking to score a majority by roping in new and credible faces with professional experience and expertise.

While mainstream parties in Bihar such as the JDU and the RJD focus on their strengths with 'maha-dalit', backward, OBC and Yadav vote-banks, the BJP seems to be adopting a strategically holistic approach by not only appointing a new Brahmin face but also one with extensive experience in governance and bureaucracy.
