In a major organizational change for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bihar Minister and senior leader Nitin Nabin officially took charge as the party's National Working President at the party headquarters in New Delhi. The event was marked by the presence of the party’s highest leadership, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, outgoing BJP National President J.P. Nadda, and several other prominent Union Ministers and party functionaries.
The appointment of the 45-year-old leader, which was announced by the BJP Parliamentary Board on Sunday, signals a clear strategic move towards a generational shift within the ruling party. Nabin is set to become the youngest leader in the party's history to occupy the national working president post, with his elevation seen as a precursor to him eventually succeeding J.P. Nadda as the full-fledged National President.
A Rousing Welcome at the Headquarters
Nitin Nabin, who currently serves as the Road Construction Minister in the Bihar government and is a five-time MLA from the Bankipur constituency in Patna, received a rousing welcome from party workers upon his arrival in the capital.
The presence of the top leadership, including Amit Shah and J.P. Nadda, underscored the importance of this organizational transition. Both senior leaders have lauded Nabin's extensive experience and deep organizational roots.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier congratulated Nabin on his appointment, praising him as a "young and industrious leader with rich organisational experience and an impressive record as MLA as well as Minister in Bihar."
Amit Shah also took to social media to congratulate Nabin, noting his dedicated service across various party roles, including the National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha and party in-charge for states like Chhattisgarh.
Focus on Organizational Strength and Youth
Nabin's political journey, which began with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), has been defined by his commitment to grassroots work and cadre mobilization. His role as a successful election manager, notably as the co-in-charge for the BJP's unexpected victory in the 2023 Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, cemented his reputation as a reliable and effective organizer.
His elevation is viewed as a strategic investment in promoting younger, ideologically rooted leaders and strengthening the party's organizational framework, particularly with an eye on upcoming state elections and future national goals.
