BJP National President Nitin Nabin to convene key organizational meeting today
New Delhi, Jan 21
Newly appointed Bharatiya Janata Party 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."

It's good to see a younger leader at the helm. Hope this translates into more youth-centric policies and greater involvement of young karyakartas at the ground level. The first meeting will set the tone.
The show of unity with all top leaders present is impressive. But the real test is delivering on the ground, especially in states where the party faces strong opposition. The strategy meeting needs to focus on that.
As an observer, the seamless transition of power within the BJP is noteworthy. PM Modi's gesture of meeting the family was a nice human touch. Interested to see how this "novel era" shapes their political narrative.
Jai Shri Ram! With a young and experienced president, the party is in safe hands. His mention of ideology and responsibility is key. The organization is the backbone, and strengthening it is the right focus. All the best to Nabin ji!
Respectfully, while the leadership change is being celebrated, I hope the new president also addresses internal party democracy more visibly. Sometimes, voices from the lower ranks get lost. That's my two paise.
