He has headed the BJP state unit earlier as well. An MLA for several terms, Bindal lost the poll this time with the party failing to open its account in Solan district.
In other appointments, the party has made Siddharthan and Pawan Rana its general secretary (organisation) in Himachal and Delhi state units respectively.
Both leaders will be swapping their places.
