Senior leaders from both Bihar and the national BJP leadership conveyed their excitement and pride, asserting that Nitin Nabin’s nomination exemplifies the party's robust organizational framework and its dedication to fostering leadership from the grassroots.

Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary shared, “This is a joyous occasion for Bihar and a landmark day for the BJP. Today, Nitin Nabin will file his nomination as the youngest national president. This is a moment of pride not only for Bihar but for the entire party.”

BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah Deo characterized the day as significant for the organization.

“This will be a very historic event. Nitin Nabin is expected to file his nomination today, and as anticipated, it is primarily a formality. He is poised to be the national president,” he remarked.

In an interview with IANS, BJP national spokesperson Guru Prakash Paswan noted the atmosphere in the party was filled with excitement and joy.

“There is immense energy and enthusiasm among party volunteers. A significant number of young workers are actively engaged in this process. The message to the youth nationwide is clear: the BJP is the only party where an ordinary worker can ascend to the highest office. In the world’s largest political party, anyone can become the national president through hard work and dedication,” he said.

Bihar Minister Mangal Pandey also expressed his elation regarding this development.

“This is a moment of pride for party workers as the new party president files his nomination today. Thousands of workers who have collaborated closely with Nitin Nabin, both in Bihar and beyond, are filled with renewed enthusiasm. Every BJP worker in Bihar feels a deep emotional connection to this moment. The youth are witnessing how Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created opportunities for young leaders. This is genuinely a moment of happiness,” he stated.

BJP leader Ram Kadam emphasized the party’s internal democracy, contrasting it with other political entities.

“The BJP stands as the sole party in the country where a grassroots worker can rise to the presidency. Nitin Nabin has been selected through this very process and is filing his nomination today. This conveys a strong message that leadership in the BJP is rooted in merit and hard work, unlike the dynastic politics prevalent elsewhere. We are proud, and party workers nationwide are celebrating this historic occasion,” he expressed.
