The inside story from Raipur to Delhi, which changed the fate of Nitin Nabin

After Nitin Nabin was elected as the National Working President of BJP, the question in everyone’s mind is what did Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah see in Nitin Nabin’s profile that he was selected for such a big post. This appointment is not just a change in one post, but it is the biggest effort by BJP and RSS to hand over the command to the next generation of leadership. Read the inside story from Raipur to Delhi, which changed the fate of Nitin Nabin.

The script of Nitin Nabin’s coronation was written last week itself, but no one had any idea about it. According to sources, the foundation of this big decision was laid in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. Last week on Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was on his visit to Chhattisgarh. There he held a long and highly confidential meeting with Nitin Nabin. Nabeen, who had played an important role in ousting Bhupesh Baghel from power when he was in-charge of Chhattisgarh, was already in Shah’s ‘good books’. Sources say that in this very meeting Shah had given him a hint of this big responsibility.

‘Green signal’ from Raipur

After getting the ‘green signal’ from Raipur, Nitin Nabin reached Delhi the very next day on Monday evening. Here he met BJP National President JP Nadda and National Organization General Secretary B.L. Had separate meetings with Santosh. In these meetings, an outline of their new role and responsibilities was drawn. This decision shows that PM Modi wants to prepare a leader for the elections of 2029 and 2034, who has the energy to run for the next 15-20 years.

Bet on ‘performance’ and ‘politics’?

1. Young and Energetic Vision: Nitin Nabin represents the generation that understands the language of Digital India and New India. Reaching the post of National President at the age of 45 shows that the party has now completely come out of the ‘Vajpayee-Advani’ era and is preparing the generation after ‘Modi-Shah’.
2. Long experience of the organization: They did not come by parachute landing. He has worked for years in Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM). He has been the National General Secretary of BJYM. Being familiar with every fiber of the organization is his biggest strength.
3. ‘Invincible’ MLA: Nitin Nabin is also a player in electoral politics. He has been elected MLA from Bankipur seat of Patna for 5 consecutive times. In 2020, he proved how strong he is on the ground by defeating high-profile candidates like Shatrughan Sinha’s son Luv Sinha and Plurals Party’s Pushpam Priya Choudhary.
4. ‘Gamechanger’ of Chhattisgarh: The turning point of Nitin Nabin’s career was the Chhattisgarh elections of 2023. As in-charge, the way he implemented the booth management and Mahtaru Vandan scheme there impressed Amit Shah a lot. Converting a lost game to victory became his USP.
5. RSS Trust: Nitin Nabin’s family is from Sangh background. They are disciplined, keep a low-profile and stay away from controversies. The Sangh is always looking for such ‘volunteers’ for the top post.
6. Preparing for 2029: Nabin has been appointed keeping in mind the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. The party needs a president who can travel across the country and connect the youth with the party.

Waiting for 14th January
At present Nitin Nabin has been made ‘Executive President’. According to the constitution of BJP, this arrangement remains in place until the name of the new president is approved in the National Council meeting. It is believed that after January 14, 2026, when Kharmas ends, Nitin Nabin will be officially declared the full-time national president of BJP in a grand convention. The journey of Nitin Nabin, who came from the streets of Bihar and reached the top post of the country’s largest party, shows that the sky is the limit for a worker in BJP. Now it has to be seen to what new heights this 45 year old young president takes the party.
