Overview
- The BJP formally announced a 65-member national team under president Nitin Nabin on Monday, with 51 new office-bearers and expanded slots for vice-presidents, general secretaries and national secretaries.
- Smriti Irani was returned as a national general secretary and Ram Madhav was named a national vice-president, marking high-profile political rehabilitations into the party’s organisational leadership.
- Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal was appointed party treasurer while long-serving IT cell head Amit Malviya was removed and replaced by Deepak Mhaskey as the party’s social media convenor.
- The new line-up increases representation for younger leaders, women and marginalised communities and gives explicit emphasis to leaders from key states and the North-East to strengthen poll work ahead of 2027.
- Analysts and party sources say the reset is both an internal consolidation and a signal of wider changes to come in government, with the team’s first full meeting set soon and commentators linking the move to an expected Cabinet reshuffle.
