After the NDA government led by Narendra Modi took oath for the third time, the discussion about the new president of BJP has started.

Who is the new president of BJP in place of JP Nadda who became a minister in the center? This question is now being discussed in political circles. Many names are running in the race for the post of BJP president. The names of who will become the national president have also been flowing. But, the biggest thing is how long the Sangh will last for the National President this time. From the kind of symbolic statement that Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat made recently, it is believed that the organizational structure of the party will now be more like that of the Sangh than the BJP.
After the NDA government led by Narendra Modi took oath for the third time, the discussion about the new president of BJP has started. After BJP national president JP Nadda was made the health minister in Modi's cabinet, now speculations are rife as to who will become the party's national president. After the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Jagat Prakash Nadda became the BJP National President in January 2020.
Nadda's tenure as the party's national president ended in January 2023, according to the BJP's policy rules. However, his tenure was extended till June 2024 in view of the Lok Sabha elections. After the election, Nadda has been given a place in the cabinet of the Narendra Modi government. It is believed that under BJP's one person one post policy, the party will soon decide their new president. After RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's recent statement, it is believed that the Sangh will now nominate the BJP national president after discussions with Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, who will most likely become the party's national president.
Vinod Tawde, Anurag Thakur, Om Mathur and Smriti Irani names in discussion
After JP Nadda, the names of former Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav and former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar were also discussed for the post of the party's national president. But, after the inclusion of these three persons in the Modi cabinet, their names have now come to an end. Now, the names of the party's current national general minister Vinod Tawde, Anurag Thakur, Om Mathur, besides Smriti Irani are also in the running for the BJP president post.
Omprakash Mathur is a confidant of Narendra Modi, he has been in charge of Gujarat BJP. So Smriti Irani is equally faithful. Smriti Irani can become the first woman in BJP's history to become the National President of BJP if the Sangh agrees. Anurag Thakur is a young leader. He has experience as National President of BJP Yuva Morcha. The BJP also wants, to attract the youth of the country, preference should be given to a young face as the national president of the party. While Vinod Tawde comes from Maharashtra and he has performed his duties as the National General Secretary of the party superbly. Hence, it will not be surprising if both the Sangh and the BJP make a fuss in Tawde's name.
Indicative statement of Mohan Bhagwat after the election results
Mohan Bhagwat, after the results of the Lok Sabha elections were declared, recently made a telling statement that a true servant follows dignity. Only one who has no sense of what I have done, no ego, has the right to be called a sevak in the true sense. It is believed that this statement of Bhagwat is very important regarding the party leadership. In such a situation, the role of the Sangh in the election of the party president is being considered very important.
