BJP Set to Name Nitin Nabin as New National President
Nitin Nabin, 45, is poised to become the new national president of the BJP, being the sole candidate for the position. His leadership comes at a crucial time as the party faces upcoming Assembly elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and Assam. The BJP is not defending a government in most of these states, presenting significant challenges. Nabin, one of the youngest leaders to take on this role, will need to balance the party's generational shift while maintaining its core ideology. His recent tours in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Assam aim to familiarise him with the political landscape. Nabin's presidency will require navigating internal dynamics and asserting the party's identity amid ongoing governance issues.
