BJP Soon To Pick Nadda’s Replacement, Possibly From OBC, SC Community – report

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is proceeding and progressing with its internal organisational elections. By the end of this month, states are required to complete elections for booth, district, and division presidents.

Following this, new presidents will be elected in half of the states by December 15, at which point the process for electing the national president can begin. JP Nadda is heading the party since January 2020 and his three-year term was extended to facilitate the process to elect his replacement. As per the party constitution, the term of the national president is three years after being elected generally by consensus. The “think tank” of BJP is keen on an OBC or SC national president as due to this, they aspire to prominently improve their strength in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Delhi. The new national president will be chosen with the approval of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat. The names doing the rounds for party chief post include Bhupendra Yadav, Union Ministers ManoharLalKhattar and BJP National General Secretary Dushyant Kumar Gautam.
