JP Nadda, appointed BJP's working president

It has long been said that the road to Delhi passes through Lucknow. Of late, this has proved to be true not just for political parties, but also for the post of the working president of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

J P  Nadda's elevation to the post of “working president” is the first of its kind in the history of the BJP (such a post did not exist in the BJP's predecessor, the Jana Sangh, either). In the next six months, Nadda is likely to become the full-fledged national president of the party.

J P Nadda belongs to Himachal Pradesh, and not Uttar Pradesh. He has risen through the ranks in the ABVP, of which he was a part during his student days in Himachal Pradesh and Bihar. He has held several important positions ranging from organisational posts at the district, state and national level; to ministerial positions at the state and central level. Before the BJP leadership decided to make him working president, his organisational skills were put to the test in the 2019 Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha election

Although Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were clear about their target and strategy, somebody was needed on the ground round the clock to translate the strategy into reality

J P Nadda has now been rewarded for the BJP's performance in Uttar Pradesh and his success in Lucknow has paved the way for one of the most powerful positions in Delhi

Under the current arrangement, Amit Shah continues to be party president and J P Nadda is the working president.

Amit Shah’s term as BJP president will end in December this year. Although he can remain the party president for another term as per the party's constitution, the BJP follows a norm of "one person, one post." Since Amit Shah is now home minister, he will have to relinquish the post of the party president.
