Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Nitish Naveen on being elected as the National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the world’s largest political party. Speaking at the formal handover ceremony, PM Modi highlighted the party’s rigorous democratic process, which ensured that leadership transitions follow the BJP constitution and the spirit of organization. He praised the dedication of party workers nationwide who made the selection process a success and commended outgoing President JP Nadda for his six-year tenure that strengthened the party from grassroots to parliamentary levels. Modi emphasized the continuity of leadership in BJP, tracing the party’s journey under leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Venkaiah Naidu, Nitin Gadkari, Rajnath Singh, and Amit Shah. He described Naveen as a millennial leader with the energy of youth, deep organizational experience, and strong grassroots connections. Naveen’s prior roles, including leadership in the BJP Youth Wing and legislative work in Bihar, make him uniquely suited to guide the party and coordinate the NDA coalition in upcoming elections. Modi stated that Naveen embodies the party’s focus on both organizational growth and the empowerment of its workers, ensuring BJP is prepared for the next 25 years of India’s development and political challenges.
