The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday (8 December) appointed central observers to oversee the selection of leaders for its legislature parties in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan.

The observers designated for Rajasthan include Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Vinod Tawade, and Saroj Pandey. Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, K Laxman, and Asha Lakra have been appointed as observers for Madhya Pradesh. For Chhattisgarh, Union Ministers Arjun Munda, Sarbananda Sonowal, and Dushyant Gautam will take on the role of observers.
