During his tenure as BJP national general secretary from 2014 to 2020, Madhav managed political affairs in Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, and other Northeastern states. Under his leadership, the BJP secured 25 seats in the 87-member Assembly in 2014, marking a significant victory for the party. Madhav also played a crucial role in forging the alliance between the BJP and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the wake of the fractured mandate.
Despite his notable contributions, Madhav was removed from JP Nadda’s team in 2020. Originally from Andhra Pradesh, he was inducted into the BJP by the RSS in 2014, shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office. In a reshuffle on September 26, 2020, Madhav and several other general secretaries were replaced by new faces. However, six months later, the RSS brought Madhav back into the fold, reaffirming his importance within the party. |
