Yadav, the Lok Sabha MP from Alwar in Rajasthan, was born in Ajmer on June 30, 1969. An advocate by profession, he has played a prominent role in both organisational politics and governance.
He served as the General Secretary of the Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad (ABVP) from 2000 to 2009 before being appointed BJP National Secretary in 2010. In 2014, he was elevated as the party’s National General Secretary.
Recognised as one of the BJP’s key organisational strategists, Yadav has overseen the party’s election responsibilities in several crucial Assembly elections, including Maharashtra (2024), Madhya Pradesh (2023), Manipur (2022), Bihar (2020), Jharkhand (2014), and Rajasthan (2013). He also served as the party’s election in-charge for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Apart from his political career, Yadav is also an author. His books, The Rise of the BJP and Supreme Court on Forest Conservation, reflect his interest in governance, law, and environmental issues.
