He has also served as a minister in the Bihar government several times.
Rise Through the Ranks
Nitin Naveen’s journey in the BJP began as a student leader, rising through the party’s youth wing. As the General Secretary of the National Youth Wing, he traveled across the entire country, understanding the nation’s pulse. He was in charge of Sikkim and also in charge of Chhattisgarh, where he made a significant contribution to bringing the BJP government to power.

The new president inherits a party that has recently faced challenges in some state elections but remains the dominant political force nationally. His immediate challenges will include strengthening the organization, managing internal dynamics, and preparing the party for future electoral battles while maintaining the momentum built under previous leadership.
