The BJP headquarters in New Delhi gears up for a landmark occasion as National General Secretary Nitin Nabin files for the national president role this Monday. Party circles buzz with expectations of a massive congregation of senior leaders from states across India.
Chief ministers, regional heads, lawmakers, and executives are expected in force, turning the nomination into a vivid tableau of party cohesion and operational might prior to the leadership vote.
K. Laxman, the national returning officer, has detailed the schedule: nominations 2-4 PM, verification 4-5 PM, withdrawals by 6 PM. Voting on January 20 follows only if needed, with the victor named that evening.
Laxman’s Friday statement was unequivocal: polls solely if multiple contenders persist. The ballot draws from national and state councils, with candidates needing 20 state backers, four active stints, and 15 years’ loyalty.
JP Nadda occupies the chair since his seamless 2020 ascent from working president duties begun in 2019. Nabin’s Bankipur Bihar triumph— a 51,000-vote rout—has amplified his influence in party echelons.
Beyond the procedural, this filing symbolizes BJP’s strategic depth and unified front, fortifying its position amid evolving political tides.
