Sources in the ruling party said, “Some massive changes have been brought in and some pre-conditions had been fixed for appointment of Mandal presidents. In order to leave space for the young leaders and train next generation leaders who can lead the state, it has been decided that the maximum age limit for the post of Mandal president is 45. The decision has been taken to ensure that the person who will get this important portfolio can perform the strenuous job.” In BJP’s organisational language Mandal refers to an assembly constituency.
