"Chouhan congratulated Sahastrabuddhe on his appointment as BJP's Madhya Pradesh in-charge yesterday," a senior official said today.
Describing Sahastrabuddhe as "wise, efficient and able administrator," Chouhan said the state will touch new heights and the party will become stronger under his guidance.
Sahastrabuddhe has been appointed the in-charge of BJP in Madhya Pradesh in place of Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers Anant Kumar.
Kumar was in-charge of the state BJP in his capacity as the party general secretary and soon after his induction in the Union Cabinet, the party was looking for his suitable replacement.
