BJP New National Team: Nitin Nabin's Key Appointments

NEW DELHI — Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin has announced a revamped national team of office-bearers, bringing together experienced leaders, younger faces and several prominent political figures.

The reshuffle includes major comebacks, changes in the party’s digital operations, new appointments across its frontal organisations and increased representation of women in the national leadership.

The new team is being viewed as an important organisational exercise as the BJP prepares for upcoming Assembly elections and looks to strengthen its organisational structure ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Piyush Goyal Returns as BJP National Treasurer

One of the most notable appointments is Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who has been named BJP national treasurer.

Goyal previously held the treasurer’s position before 2014. His return to the organisational role has attracted political attention because of the BJP’s convention of following the “one person, one post” principle.

The appointment has therefore triggered speculation about whether there could be changes in the Union Cabinet in the future. However, the appointment itself does not confirm any imminent Cabinet reshuffle.

Smriti Irani Makes Comeback as National General Secretary

Former Union Minister Smriti Irani has returned to the BJP’s national organisational structure as one of its eight National General Secretaries.

Irani has been one of the BJP’s most prominent national leaders and has held several important political responsibilities over the years. Her return gives the new team another experienced face with strong organisational and political credentials.

Ram Madhav Returns as National Vice President

Senior BJP leader and RSS national executive member Ram Madhav has also returned to the party’s central organisational setup.

Madhav has been appointed as a National Vice President, marking his return to a prominent organisational role after several years away from the BJP’s central team.

His appointment is particularly significant given his long association with the party and the RSS.

Biplab Kumar Deb Joins as National General Secretary

Former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has been included in the new national team as a National General Secretary.

Deb’s inclusion adds another former chief minister to the BJP’s central organisational structure and strengthens the party’s representation from the northeastern region.

BJP Restructures Its Digital and Social Media Wing

The party has also made significant changes to its digital organisation.

Amit Malviya, who had headed the BJP’s IT Cell for several years, has been replaced as part of the restructuring.

The IT Cell has been reorganised into a dedicated Social Media Department, with Deepak Mhaskey from Chhattisgarh appointed as its convener.

The change highlights the growing importance of social media and digital communication in modern political campaigns and organisational outreach.

Tejasvi Surya Replaced as BJYM Chief

Another major organisational change involves the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).

Lok Sabha MP Tejasvi Surya is no longer the head of the youth wing. Hemang Joshi, BJP MP from Vadodara, has been appointed as the new BJYM chief.

The change comes as the BJP seeks to strengthen its youth organisation and expand engagement with younger voters.

Changes in BJP Frontal Organisations

The reshuffle also includes new leadership across several of the BJP’s major frontal organisations, commonly known as Morchas.

Mahila Morcha

Roop Kumari Choudhary from Chhattisgarh has replaced Vanathi Srinivasan as the head of the BJP Mahila Morcha.

OBC Morcha

Amarpal Maurya from Uttar Pradesh has replaced K. Laxman as the head of the OBC Morcha.

Minority Morcha

Kunwar Basit Ali from Uttar Pradesh has been appointed as the new Minority Morcha chief, replacing Jamal Siddiqui.

These changes indicate a broader effort to refresh the leadership of the party’s organisational wings.

B.L. Santhosh Continues as Organisation General Secretary

Some of the BJP’s key organisational leaders have retained their positions.

B.L. Santhosh continues as the party’s National General Secretary (Organisation). Shivprakash and Saudan Singh continue to serve as Joint General Secretaries (Organisation).

Meanwhile, senior leaders Vinod Tawde and Sunil Bansal have retained their positions as National General Secretaries.

The continuation of these leaders provides organisational stability while the party introduces several new faces.

Key Leaders Among BJP National Vice Presidents

The BJP’s new team includes 13 National Vice Presidents.

Alongside Ram Madhav, the list includes prominent leaders such as:

Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje
Baijayant Panda

The inclusion of experienced state-level leaders gives the national team a broader political and regional profile.

Sandeep Pathak and Anil Antony Join as National Secretaries

The new national team also includes leaders who have entered the BJP from other political backgrounds.

Former Aam Aadmi Party strategist Sandeep Pathak and former Congress leader Anil Antony have been inducted into the team of 16 National Secretaries.

Their inclusion reflects the BJP’s continued willingness to bring leaders and political professionals from outside its traditional organisational structure into important national roles.

Women’s Representation Increases

One of the most notable aspects of the new BJP national team is the increase in women’s representation.

According to the details announced about the reshuffle, 12 of the 64 national office-bearers are women, compared with five women in the previous national team.

Among the prominent women included are Rajya Sabha MPs Phangnon Konyak, Sangeeta Yadav and Kavita Patidar.

The increased representation is expected to strengthen the party’s outreach among women voters and give greater visibility to women leaders within the BJP’s national organisation.

What Does the New BJP Team Signal?

The new organisational structure combines experienced leaders with younger political figures and leaders from different regions and backgrounds.

The changes in the digital wing and youth organisation also underline the importance of social media, technology and youth engagement in contemporary political campaigns.

According to party insiders, the new team was formed after consultations involving the BJP leadership and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

The broader objective is understood to be the creation of an energetic and balanced organisational structure capable of managing upcoming Assembly elections while building the party’s organisational base for the next electoral cycle.
