Nitin Nabin Takes Charge As BJP's Youngest Chief, Replacing JP Nadda
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitin Nabin has taken charge as the party's new National President, replacing Jagat Prakash Nadda in the high-profile post and capping an exhaustive internal selection process that began at the grassroots and progressed to the national level.
The appointment of 45-year-old Nitin Nabin is seen as a signal of the BJP's renewed emphasis on organisational strength and generational transition ahead of key state polls this year and next - including in Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and Uttar Pradesh- and before the 2029 federal election.
Nabin's appointment, party sources also pointed out, contrasts sharply (as it is meant to) with arch-rivals Congress continuing to be led by 84-year-old veteran politician Mallikarjun Kharge.
