While, the unfortunate Nithin Gadkari was betrayed of his second term as he was bitten by Congress party, the same has come as blessing to 62 year old Rajnath Singh, who unexpectedly becomes the president of BJP with a unanimous vote. Rajnath also enjoys the backing of Sangh Pariwar and is acceptable for majority of party leaders. Hence, it was just a cake walk for him to become party president.

However, there were troubles waiting in the backyard of his party, which demands an immediate attention by him. The BJP ruling government in Karnataka had a setback with two of its ministers quitting the party for joining Yedurappa’s newly launched party. Unless, the new-elect resolves this problem there is a threat of loosing the only one state in the south for BJP.
