New Delhi, April 17 (NationPress) The senior leadership of the BJP convened for a significant meeting on Wednesday in the capital, focusing on the party's organizational elections, with the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This meeting took place at the Prime Minister's residence and was attended by key figures including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP's National General Secretary (Organisation), B.L. Santhosh.
The anticipated organizational reshuffle is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the BJP's electoral strategy as upcoming polls approach.
Additionally, discussions revolved around the forthcoming election for the BJP President.
As per party insiders, the announcement regarding this election could be made within a week.
The meeting also addressed organizational adjustments at the state level, with discussions about potential new state BJP presidents for Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh.
Originally, the election for the BJP President was scheduled to conclude by February 2025, but it faced delays due to state elections in regions such as Haryana, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi.
It is expected that the party may reveal around half a dozen new state unit presidents in the next two to three days.
“The election process for selecting the BJP President could commence anytime after April 20,” indicated party sources.
Originally slated for January, the election for the BJP President remains pending as April progresses.
J.P. Nadda, who has held the position of BJP President since January 2020, was granted an extension beyond the typical three-year term to ensure a seamless transition and adequate preparation for the next leadership era.
According to the BJP constitution, the term for the National President generally spans three years and is elected through consensus within the party.
Insiders suggest that the postponement is a result of meticulous leader selection aimed at further enhancing the organization.
The BJP is pursuing a youthful organizational framework, which may result in the replacement of some current General Secretaries with younger individuals, considering the party's future prospects, according to party sources.
