BJP President Rajnath Singh today retained Anurag Thakur as the party's Yuva Morcha chief, who said he will use the opportunity to further rejuvenate the organisation in the run up to the next general elections.
Thanking Singh for his re-appointment as President of the BJP Yuva Morcha, Thakur said it is a recognition of the Morcha's work done in highlighting corruption and the failures of the government on the economic and internal security front.
The major highlight of Thakur's tenure as the Morcha chief was the national Ekta Yatra taken out in January 2011. He was arrested along with other senior BJP leaders on Jammu-Srinagar border while they were on their way to Srinagar to hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk on Republic Day.
Thakur, a two-time Lok Sabha member from Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh, is the son of former Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.
He was appointed by previous BJP President Nitin Gadkari to lead the Yuva Morcha.
