Bharatiya Janata Party scripted history Tuesday by electing 45-year-old Nitin Navin as its national president—the youngest in its annals—during a grand event at New Delhi headquarters. PM Modi’s congratulatory message set an optimistic tone for the new chapter.
Outgoing chief JP Nadda shared the dais with Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, as K Laxman officially inducted Navin, the 12th president, with the certificate.
The venue overflowed with BJP’s elite: Union ministers, CMs, office-bearers, state presidents, national executive—a unified front projecting strength.
Uncontested after Monday’s filings, Navin’s nod came from PM Modi, Shah, Nadda et al., with state support letters galore. Since last December’s promotion, he’s been a rising star.
Per rules, his poll by councils required 20+ backers per state, 15 years’ service—ticks all boxes. Seen as youth integration masterstroke, it ensures organizational vitality.
Navin’s era may spotlight innovation, inclusivity, electoral prep. BJP’s gamble on fresh blood could yield dividends, solidifying its governance narrative.
