Ms Saroj Pandey is back in the team as Vice President and does it mean she missed out being presented as party's CM face ahead of Chattisgarh elections. Former Chhattisgarh CM Dr Raman Singh is retained as vice president also. 


West Bengal MP, Dilip Ghosh, is known for candid speak but at times was pulled up for speaking out of line. He also made 'inappropriate comments' involving the Kurmis in Jhargram.


In fact, analysts say, BJP lost panchayat seats in Purulia and Jhargram regions.
