Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a historic decision on 14 December 2025, when Bihar government minister and five-time MLA from Patna’s Bankipur assembly seat Nitin Nabin was appointed as the national working president of the party. This appointment not only signals a new wave of young leadership in the party, but also shows that any dedicated worker can reach the top position in the BJP. 45-year-old Nitin Nabin is now the youngest working president of the country’s largest political party. His appointment has created a stir in political circles and there is discussion everywhere as to what is the secret of BJP’s organizational strength.
Early life and entry into politics
Nitin Nabin was born in a political family in Patna. His father, late Nabin Kishore Prasad Sinha, was a senior BJP leader and former MLA. After the death of his father in 2006, Nitin Nabin entered politics at the age of just 26. He won the by-election from Bankipur (then Patna West) seat and since then has been winning this seat continuously in the elections of 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2025. This is proof of his grassroots connections and popularity among the public. From the very beginning, Nitin Nabin established himself as a hard worker. Nitin, who started student politics from Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), played an important role in BJP Yuva Morcha (BJYM). He has been the state president and national general secretary of Bihar BJYM. During this period, he made an important contribution in connecting the youth with the party.
Organizational Experience and Key Responsibilities
Nitin Nabin’s political journey rests on the strength of the organization. He worked as election in-charge in states like Sikkim and Chhattisgarh. Especially his role in the decisive victory of BJP in the 2023 Chhattisgarh Assembly elections was commendable. In Bihar also, he was active in strengthening the urban and booth level organization of the party. He is working as the Road Construction Minister in Bihar Government and has also previously held the Law Ministry. Along with his administrative experience, his simplicity and direct communication with the workers makes him different. On his appointment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Nitin Nabin is a dedicated worker, whose energy and loyalty will give new strength to the party. Home Minister Amit Shah also called it an inspiration for young workers.
That viral picture: the epitome of humility
An old picture of Nitin Nabin is going viral on social media these days. In this picture, he is standing during the train journey, while senior leader late Sushil Kumar Modi and former state president Nand Kishore Yadav are sitting behind him. Nitin Nabin is taking selfie with both of them. This picture is from his early days, when he was a youth activist. This shows that Nitin Nabin never saw the dignity of the post, but gave priority to respect of seniors and service to the party. Such humility has brought him to where he is today. This picture is a symbol of the culture of BJP, where the hard work of the workers is respected.
BJP’s policy: Tradition of giving top posts to common workers
The biggest strength of BJP is its organizational structure. The party’s policy has been that any ordinary worker, if dedicated and hardworking, can reach the top post. Nitin Nabin is a living example of this. He neither belongs to any big dynasty, nor from the power circle of Delhi, but has come from the grassroots level. If we look at the history of the party, this tradition has been going on since the time of Jan Sangh. From Lal Krishna Advani, Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Narendra Modi and Amit Shah – everyone started as activists. JP Nadda also became the full president from working president. Now the appointment of Nitin Nabin is taking this tradition forward. This gives the message that in BJP it is not caste, region or familyism that matters, but work and loyalty. This policy makes the party young and energetic. The appointment of Nitin Nabin will encourage the new generation in the party. The rise of a young leader from a state like Bihar also strengthens the national image of the party.
New energy and future of strong BJP
Nitin Nabin’s appointment is a new chapter for BJP. His youthful energy, organizational skills and administrative experience will prepare the party for the upcoming challenges. This proves that BJP is a vibrant organization, where even an ordinary worker can reach extraordinary heights. Nitin Nabin’s journey is an inspiration for lakhs of workers and is a matter of praise for the policy of BJP, which gives highest respect to hard work. It is certain that BJP will become stronger in future under the leadership of Nitin Nabin. His humility and dedication will convey the ideology of the party to the new generation.
