Amit Shah will demit his post as BJP president by the year end and is likely to be replaced by a new one with working president JP Nadda expected to succeed him.
Shah, who is holding the crucial portfolio of Union Home Ministry, would only be stressing his party's dictum of one-man-one-post by demitting the post of the party president once organisational polls are completed by December. In an interview to a news channel, he said that the new president would take over by December and rejected the notion that he would remain the "super power" running he party from behind the scene.
"BJP is not the Congress party and nobody can run it from behind the scenes," he said saying it will be run as per its constitution.Nadda, who is already appointed party's working president, is expected to take charge from Shah in December.
To another question, he denied that his party was looking at former cricket captain Sourav Ganguly as the face of the party in West Bengal. He rejected any involvement in the election of the next BCCI chief and that there was any deal with Ganguly, who was elected as cricket body's Chief.
"I did not decide who will be the BCCI President. BCCI has its own election process for it", he said.
The report referred to rumours that Shah had met Ganguly on Saturday and was offered the BCCI president post in return for him contesting the West Bengal assembly election in 2021.
