BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda will continue to head the party till June next year, the party’s senior strategist Amit Shah announced today amid the second day of its national executive meet.
There was expectation that Mr Nadda’s term will be extended, with nine state elections lined up this year and general elections in 2024.
“The BJP national executive unanimously decided to extend party president JP Nadda’s term till June 2024,” Amit Shah announced at a press conference. “We are confident that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Nadda, the party will win 2024 Lok Sabha polls with bigger mandate than 2019,” Mr Shah said.
Yesterday, Mr Nadda underscored that party leaders must ensure victory in all nine state assembly polls slates for this year.
PM Modi is expected to outline the political roadmap for the party in the valedictory session of the meeting, which is being attended by the paty’s union ministers, state chief ministers and around 350 leaders from across the country.
