Jagat Prakash Nadda has been made the\nworking national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to sources,\nthe decision was taken in a BJP parliamentary board meeting which was chaired\nby PM Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah, senior leaders Sushma Swaraj, Ram Lal among\nothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on JP Nadda’s appointment,\nUnion Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, “Amit Shah handled the\nresponsibility of being BJP chief successfully for five years. Now that he has\nbecome home minister, he [Amit Shah] requested someone else take charge of the\nparty. BJP Parliamentary board has selected JP Nadda as the working\npresident.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delhi: Senior BJP leaders present\nbouquets to JP Nadda at the BJP Parliamentary Board meeting being held at the\nBJP headquarters. Amit Shah will remain party’s national president,\nRajnath Singh clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JP Nadda’s appointment comes days after\nthe BJP had announced that current BJP chief Amit Shah will continue in the\nposition for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amit Shah will remain BJP president\ntill the forthcoming state assembly polls are over i.e. December 2019. The BJP\nwill likely get a new president by the start of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 59-year-old Nadda, who is a Rajya\nSabha member as well as the former health minister, will be overseeing BJP’s\nelection strategy for the upcoming state assembly polls. He will be steering\nthe BJP through Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly\npolls which will be conducted in the second half of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JP Nadda had been the front runner to\nreplace Amit Shah as the BJP president. Nadda was part of the previous Narendra\nModi government. Known to keep a low profile and get things done, Nadda was\ninstrumental in furthering Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s flagship programmes\nincluding Ayushman Bharat, the health-insurance scheme of the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is only after these assembly polls\nthat the process of organisational elections will start within the BJP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
