BJP national president Nitin Nabin has announced a new national team, appointing several senior figures to key leadership positions.
The reorganization follows the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, serving as an effort to strengthen party leadership and structure ahead of future electoral contests.
Smriti Irani has been appointed as a general secretary [1]. The appointment marks a significant return to a high-level party role for Irani, who was defeated in the 2024 Lok Sabha election [1].
Ram Madhav has been reinstated as a national vice-president [1]. His return to the national leadership team coincides with the party's broader effort to restructure its executive core.
Vinod Tawde has also been appointed as a general secretary [2]. Additionally, Vasundhara Raje has been assigned a key role within the new national framework [2].
The shift in leadership comes as the party seeks to address the outcomes of the previous general election. By integrating veteran leaders and reinstating experienced strategists, the party intends to stabilize its national organizational reach.
Nabin said the appointments are part of a strategic realignment. The new team will oversee party operations and coordination across various states as the BJP prepares for upcoming political challenges.

This reshuffle indicates a strategic pivot by the BJP to blend experienced veterans with proven communicators to recover from the 2024 electoral setbacks. By bringing back figures like Ram Madhav and elevating Smriti Irani despite her recent electoral loss, the party is prioritizing organizational loyalty and national visibility over local seat outcomes to rebuild its momentum.
