The Bharatiya Janata Party will get a new national party president by mid-March, according to Union Minister, Hardeep Singh Puri. “We have the process. According to the information that is there in the public domain, we will get the party’s new president by mid-March,” he said on Friday.
According to reports, the election for the BJP national president will take place after the party’s state-wise elections, which were supposed to end by January 2024, but due to the Delhi assembly and other states pending elections, the process was delayed.
According to the BJP’s constitution, the election of the National President requires that at least 50 percent of the state units have already elected their respective presidents. Therefore, the election process at the state level is being expedited.
Along with the state presidents, members of the electoral college for the National President are also selected. Currently, out of 36 states, elections have been completed in only 12, meaning elections for state presidents need to be conducted in at least six more states.
JP Nadda was first appointed as the BJP’s acting National President on June 17, 2019, and remained in this role until January 20, 2020. On January 20, 2020, he was formally elected as the 11th National President of the party and has held this position since then Under Nadda’s leadership, the BJP contested elections in 35 states and won in 16 states. Similarly, in the Lok Sabha elections, the party secured victory and returned to power.
Meanwhile, on Thursday Bharatiya Janata Party President JP Nadda launched an attack on the Himachal Pradesh government and said that the Congress party does not have any kind of principles as the party has become a party of only brothers, sisters and mothers.
Addressing the public meeting organised at Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, the Union Minister questioned the Congress party on whether it could follow the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and Subhash Chandra Bose?
