BSPWM doesnt start using $HOME/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc file

I have installed BSPWM with lightdm login manager.
Whenever I login BSPWM starts with default config instead of the one in $HOME/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc.
i have to MOD+ALT+R to restart, upon which the BSPWM restarts with said config.
I am a newbie here, so please help me.
