2019 polls: Once Modi critic makes comeback as BJP's UP in-charge

In a series of crucial appointments ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP notably has assigned Gordhan Zadaphia crucial state of Uttar Pradesh, which sends 80 MPs to the lower House of Parliament. Zadaphia takes the place of BJP President Amit Shah, who was in charge before 2014 elections. The Gujarat leader faced allegations of not doing enough to check the three-day communal violence in Gujarat when he was the Home Minister.
