Dharmendra Pradhan is BJP's Poll In-charge for Karnataka Assembly Election 

Tamil Nadu BJP’s unit president K Annamalai will be the co-incharge for the high-stakes polls, where both the ruling party and the Opposition Congress have launched intensive public outreach for elections. The election is likely to happen mid April-May.

Pradhan, a veteran organisation man, has been tasked with handling several elections in the past. A skillful politician, he will be expected to mobilise the state organisation while sorting out internal issues in the local unit to maximise efforts to retain power in the important southern state.
