New Delhi: The new national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitin Naveen, is holding an organizational meeting at the party headquarters in New Delhi today, Wednesday. Senior party officials and state presidents are attending the meeting. According to reports, the BJP is initiating internal discussions under its new leadership.
Earlier, all BJP state presidents and national secretaries were instructed to attend the meeting, where discussions will focus on strengthening the organization and future political strategies. BJP National General Secretary (Organization) B.L. Santosh is also expected to be present during the discussions.
Nitin Naveen assumed charge of his office at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Tuesday, just hours after his official promotion to the post. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah also visited his office. Other senior leaders present included Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari, and the outgoing party president, Jagat Prakash Nadda.
PM Modi also briefly met with Nitin Naveen’s family, congratulating them on his important role and engaging in some lighthearted conversation. The appointment of 45-year-old Nitin Naveen as the new BJP national president signifies a “new” era and a generational shift within the party, emphasizing the development of new, young leadership under his guidance.
Earlier, while addressing BJP leaders and workers, PM Modi referred to Nitin Naveen as his “boss” and himself as merely a party worker. Amidst thunderous applause at the party headquarters, he said, “When it comes to party matters, I am a worker, and Nitin Naveen is my boss.” The Prime Minister further added that Naveen possesses both youthful energy and extensive organizational experience, which will be highly beneficial for the party.
After being elected as the new BJP national president, Nitin Naveen stated that this day is a moment of resolve for him, as he is not merely assuming a position, but also taking on the responsibility of the party’s ideology, traditions, and the nationalist movement.
