Gordhan Zadaphia

The newly appointed BJP incharge for 2019 general elections in Uttar Pradesh, Gordhan Zadaphia, has vowed to better the BJP's unprecedented feat of 71 seats in 2014.

BJP president Amit Shah Wednesday appointed the party's in-charges for the Lok Sabha polls for 17 states, drafting Union minister Prakash Javadekar for steering the campaign in Rajasthan and Thawarchand Gehlot, another minister, for Uttarakhand.

Gordhan Zadaphia, a powerful Gujarat leader who was once a critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, made a stunning comeback to national politics today with the ruling BJP giving him charge of the party in Uttar Pradesh.

A Gujarat court today ruled that Narendra Modi will not face charges in the 2002 riots in the state, rejecting a petition by Zakia Jafri, whose husband Ehsan Jafri was burnt alive by a mob. Here are the highlights of the 440-page order, which comes as a major victory for Mr Modi at a time he is running for prime minister in 2014.
