BJP Gets New Chief: Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin Named National Working President

The Bharatiya Janata Party has named Bihar minister and senior legislator Nitin Nabin as its new national working president, marking a significant organisational shift ahead of key political challenges. The decision was taken by the party’s parliamentary board on Sunday, with Nabin set to replace outgoing BJP chief JP Nadda. The appointment reflects the party’s emphasis on blending youth with organisational experience, while also highlighting Nabin’s growing stature within the BJP’s national leadership.

Party Decision And Leadership Change

The announcement was formally made through a party release, confirming Nitin Nabin’s elevation to one of the most influential organisational roles within the BJP. A sitting MLA from Bankipur in Patna and currently serving as a Public Works Department minister in Bihar, Nabin is regarded as a key face of urban governance and infrastructure development in the state. His appointment comes at a time when the party is reshaping its leadership structure at both national and state levels.

Prime Minister’s Message Of Confidence

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Nabin on his appointment, describing him as an industrious leader with rich organisational experience. In a public message, the Prime Minister praised Nabin’s record as both an MLA and a minister, highlighting his consistent efforts to meet people’s aspirations. He also pointed to Nabin’s humble and grounded working style, expressing confidence that his energy and dedication would further strengthen the party in the coming period.

Political Roots And Early Career

Nitin Nabin is the son of late BJP leader Nabin Kishore Sinha and began his political journey through student politics with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. Over the years, he built a strong organisational foundation within the BJP’s Patna unit, gaining recognition as a committed grassroots worker. His transition to electoral politics came in the late 2000s, when he contested his first assembly election.

Rise As A Key Organisational Figure

Nabin won his maiden assembly election in 2010 and has since been re-elected consecutively from the Bankipur constituency. His work has largely focused on urban development and infrastructure, helping him carve a distinct identity within Bihar politics. He has also worked extensively with the BJP’s youth wing and has been entrusted with several important poll responsibilities, including in Chhattisgarh, where the party secured a decisive victory.

Broader Organisational Context

Nabin’s appointment coincided with the BJP naming Pankaj Choudhary as its Uttar Pradesh state president, underlining a broader organisational refresh. As one of the youngest leaders to hold the position of national working president, Nabin brings together administrative experience, electoral success and organisational depth, positioning him as a key figure in shaping the party’s future strategy.
