Una (HP), Dec 5 (PTI) The state unit of the BJP here will assign Mandal president roles to younger leaders, likely in their mid-forties, and no person above the age of sixty years would be appointed as district President of the party.

The decision has been taken to encourage hardworking young leaders, Satti said.

Responding to a question, Satti said that he is not in the race for the state BJP president's post and emphasised on the need to give opportunities to new leaders.

The state leadership and BJP high command will take a decision in this regard, which will be acceptable to all, he added.

The party high command has taken this decision and a letter has been issued in this regard, BJP Una District President Babeer Chaudhary said.

It has been clarified that active young workers with a mass base will be brought forward in the BJP, Chaudhary said endorsing Satti's statements.

The party high command believes that providing top posts of the party to youngsters will increase the participation of youth power and strengthen the party, he added.
