BJP National President Nitin Nabin to convene key organizational meeting today

New Delhi, Jan 21 (IANS) Newly appointed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin is set to convene an important organizational meeting at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Wednesday.

The meeting will bring together senior party functionaries as the BJP begins internal consultations under its new leadership.

All BJP state presidents and national secretaries have been directed to attend the meeting, where discussions will focus on organizational strengthening and future political strategy. BJP National General Secretary (Organization) B.L. Santosh is also expected to be present during the deliberations.

Nabin took charge of his office at the party headquarters in the national capital on Tuesday, hours after his formal elevation to the post.

The new BJP president was accompanied by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to his office. Other senior leaders who flanked him included Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, and outgoing party president Jagat Prasad Nadda.

PM Modi also met briefly with the family members of Nitin Nabin, congratulating them on his assuming a significant role and sharing some light-hearted conversations.

The elevation of 45-year-old Nitin Nabin as the BJP’s new national president marks a ‘novel’ era in the party and also a generational shift, reflecting its thrust on raising a new young leadership under his stewardship.

Earlier, addressing the BJP leaders and workers, PM Modi described Nitin Nabin as his ‘boss’ and himself as a mere party worker.

“When it comes to the party affairs, then I am a worker, and Nitin Nabin is my boss,” he said amid loud cheers at the party headquarters.

Nabin has “youth energy” as well as a “long experience in the organisation”, the Prime Minister further said, adding that these will be “very beneficial” for the party.

After being elected the new BJP National President, Nitin Nabin said that this day is “a moment of resolve” for him, as he is not just assuming a post but also embracing the “ideology, traditions, and the responsibility of a nationalist movement of the party.”
