While I'm happy for the celebration, I hope this appointment translates into concrete action for Bihar. We need more jobs, better infrastructure, and solutions for migration. The real 'gulal' will be when we see results on the ground.

37 sets of nomination papers with backing from top leadership shows strong consensus. This should bring stability to the party's national organization. Good move.

Observing from outside, the internal democratic process of the BJP seems quite robust with state presidents electing the national head. The enthusiasm described is palpable even through the news report.

As a BJP karyakarta from Patna, the energy here is incredible! It feels like Diwali came early. Having a leader from Bihar at the helm of the national party is a moment of great pride for all of us. 🇮🇳

Respectfully, I hope the focus remains on governance and not just political appointments. The people of Bihar need development, not just firecrackers. Let's see if this changes anything for the common man.
