Nitin Nabin takes charge as BJP chief, PM lauds rising star
Nitin Nabin becomes BJP's youngest president as PM Modi praises his grassroots leadership and urges the party to learn from past mistakes to stay ahead.
Nitin Nabin, the BJP's youngest national president, assumed charge on Tuesday at the party's headquarters, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly praising him and calling him his 'boss' in party matters. Modi lauded Nabin's performance across roles and urged party colleagues to learn from the Congress's past mistakes to strengthen BJP's position as the preferred governing party at all levels.
Bihar leaders described Nabin's ascent from student and youth politics to the top organisational post as a reflection of the party's cadre-based politics and steady on-ground engagement. BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal recalled his extensive fieldwork during the 2015 and 2020 Bihar assembly polls and his role heading the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, pointing to a shift toward structured grassroots outreach and a campaign that connected with panchayat-level networks.
At the event, PM Modi, ex-BJP president J.P. Nadda and ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah and Nitin Gadkari welcomed Nabin as he embarked on this generational transition. The party framed Nabin as part of a millennial generation that has witnessed India's transformation, signaling both continuity and fresh energy for the BJP's national roadmap.
With this appointment, the BJP aims to consolidate its organisational strength from the village level to the national stage, continuing a thrust on cadre-based politics and community contact that leaders say has contributed to the party's broad appeal across India's diverse political map.
