“We were of the opinion that he should continue,
at least till the organizational elections are over. But
he insisted that someone else should take charge.
In the discussion that we had, everyone unanimously
agreed that Shri JP Nadda should be appointed as
the Working President of the Party.”
Although the BJP Constitution does not
specifically prevent anyone holding an official post
from simultaneously remain the Party President, Shri
Shah has himself requested to be relieved of his
duties as BJP President.
Shri JP Nadda’s elevation to the post of Working
President is the first of its kind in the history of the BJP.
Under the current arrangement, Shri Amit Shah will
continue to be the party National President and Shri
JP Nadda is the Working President.
After being appointed Working President, Shri
Nadda, in a series of tweets, said PM Shri Narendra
Modi’s guidance has always been inspirational for him
and under the Prime Minister’s leadership the party
has got huge support from people of the country. “I
will try to strengthen the party as its worker...serving
the party is like worship for me”.
Thanking Shri Amit Shah, Shri JP Nadda said that
under his leadership the party touched new heights
which are exemplary and in the same way he will also
serve the party.
While the BJP has won a historic mandate in the
parliamentary elections, elections are due in three
states ruled by it — Maharashtra, Jharkhand and
Haryana. The Delhi Assembly elections will follow
shortly thereafter. Now, under the dynamic and
proven leadership of party National President Shri
Amit Shah and the Working President Shri JP Nadda
the party will face the upcoming assembly elections
in these states.Narendra Modi @narendramodi
Shri @JPNadda is a diligent Karyakarta of the Party, who has risen through the ranks due to his hardwork and
organisational skills. Humble and affable, he is widely respected across the BJP family. Congratulations to him on
becoming the Working President of the Party.
I am confident that under the leadership of Shri @AmitShah and Shri @JPNadda, and powered by the hardwork of our
Karyakartas, the BJP will continue winning people’s trust and serving our society. We remain committed to building
a strong, developed and inclusive India.
