Ahead of the Shimla Municipal Corporation polls, Himachal Pradesh BJP chief Suresh Kashyap has handed over his resignation to the party's national president BJP Nadda, sources said on Friday.
?? ?
According to BJP office bearers, Kashyap cited "personal reasons" for resigning from his post.
?? ?
Kashyap, who was appointed as the chief of the BJP's Himachal Pradesh unit on July 22, 2020, following the resignation of Rajeev Bindal, had a lackluster tenure. The party suffered defeat in the by-polls to the Mandi Lok Sabha seat and Arki, Fatehpur, and Jubbal-Kotkhai Assembly constituencies in November 2021. It also lost the Assembly polls held in December 2022.
?? ?
A two-time MLA from Pachhad, Kashyap was also elected to the Lok Sabha in 2019.?

The BJP is likely to reorganise its organisational structure in the state soon.
