Got ministerial post even after losing
While many big names have been dropped after the defeat, Ravneet Singh Bittu, who lost the election from Ludhiana in Punjab, has been included in the Council of Ministers. Bittu is the grandson of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh. Just before the elections, he left the Congress and joined the BJP and contested on a BJP ticket. The BJP is trying to gain a foothold in Punjab. This time for the first time, the BJP contested the elections alone in Punjab, but could not win a single seat.
Those who were in discussion but did not get the post
Before the elections, the name of Rajya Sabha MP and now MP from Uttarakhand Anil Baluni was in the news that he might get a place in the Council of Ministers. However, he has not been included in the government. Supporters of former BJP state president Sanjay Jaiswal in Bihar were hoping that he would get a ministerial post this time, but he has also not been included in the government. Manoj Tiwari's name was also in the news from Delhi, but he did not get a ministerial post. There was also talk of including BJP state president K Annamalai from Tamil Nadu in the cabinet, but he did not get a place. BJP's vote share has increased in Tamil Nadu.
