Impressive show of unity with all the CMs and top leaders present. It sends a strong message. Wishing Nitin Nabin all the best for his new role. The party machinery is truly formidable.

While I support the party, I hope this internal change also translates to more focus on ground-level issues like inflation and employment. Leadership changes are fine, but we need results for the common man. A respectful criticism from a well-wisher.

Observing from outside, the organizational strength and the smooth transition process of the BJP is quite remarkable. 37 nomination sets is a clear mandate. Interesting to watch Indian politics.

Hope the new president will also focus on increasing women's participation within the party at all levels. Seeing Diya Kumari there is good, but we need more. All the best to him!
