The BJP announced a new 65-member [1] national team under national chief Nitin Nabin to prepare for upcoming elections in multiple states.
This reorganization signals a shift in the party's leadership strategy as it seeks to integrate organizational experience and regional representation ahead of critical electoral battles.
Former Union minister Smriti Irani has been appointed as a national general secretary. This move returns Irani to a central role within the party after she lost the 2024 [2] Lok Sabha election.
Ram Madhav has returned to the party hierarchy as a national vice-president. Meanwhile, Vasundhara Raje remains in her position as a national vice-president.
Not all previous leaders retained their positions in the new structure. Amit Malviya was fired from the team during this shake-up.
The party said the new appointments are intended to ensure the BJP is positioned effectively for its next phase of campaigning. The leadership focused on bringing back experienced figures to stabilize the organizational framework across different regions.
Nitin Nabin will lead the 65-member [1] team as it implements the party's new battle plan. The restructuring emphasizes a blend of veteran leadership and strategic placements to maximize outreach in contested states.
“Smriti Irani returns to a central role within the party after she lost the 2024 Lok Sabha election.”
The reinstatement of Smriti Irani and Ram Madhav suggests the BJP is prioritizing proven organizational veterans to manage its electoral machinery. By removing figures like Amit Malviya and consolidating a specific 65-member team, the party is streamlining its national command structure to reduce friction and improve regional coordination before the upcoming state elections.
