'Golden Day' for Bihar BJP
Ahead of the BJP National Working President Nitin Nabin's visit to Bihar, state BJP President Sanjay Saraogi on Monday expressed warm greetings and said Nabin's visit to the state marks a "golden day" in the history of Bihar's BJP, adding that "there is a lot of enthusiasm among the people of Bihar."
Speaking to reporters, Saraogi said, "23rd December is the golden day in the history of Bihar's BJP. Nitin Nabin is coming here for the first time after taking up the responsibility. There is a lot of enthusiasm among the people of Bihar. He will have a 5 km long road show. Thousands of hoardings and banners have been made. He will go to the Raj Bhavan at 4 pm and meet the governor."
Expressing enthusiasm, Bihar Minister Dilip Jaiswal, who arrived at Miller High School Ground to inspect the preparations, said, "There is enthusiasm among the workers. Our National Working President is also the esteemed MLA from Patna's Bankipur. Tomorrow, the workers will welcome him. For Bihar, there cannot be a greater fortune than this--that a son of this Bihar soil has become the Working President of the world's largest political party."
Nabin's Itinerary in Patna
BJP National Working President Nitin Nabin is set to visit Bihar on December 23, where he will participate in various party programs and interact with workers and elected representatives. This marks his first visit to the state after being elected as the party's National Working President. Nabin is the youngest working president ever elected in the party, at 45 years old. He also serves as the Minister of Road Construction in the Bihar Cabinet.
According to a statement from the party, on the first day of his visit, Nabin will visit the famous Hanuman Temple at Rajbanshi Nagar, Patna at 1:05 pm for darshan and puja. He will then pay floral tribute to Bharat Ratna Baba Sahab Bhimrao Ambedkar's statue at Bailey Road at 1:50 pm, followed by paying floral tribute to Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan's statue at Income Tax Roundabout at 2:00 pm. At 2:15 pm, a welcome and felicitation ceremony will be held in his honour at Miller High School, Veerchand Patel Marg, where he will address the gathering. In the evening, he will call on Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan at 4:00 pm, and hold a crucial meeting with BJP MPs, MLAs, MLCs, and state party officials at the Atal Auditorium, Party Office at 7:30 pm.
A Strategic Generational Shift
The BJP appointed Nitin Nabin as the National Working President on December 14, marking a significant generational shift in the party's leadership. According to BJP sources, his selection is closely linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. The BJP leadership aims to ensure that, by 2047, when India becomes a developed nation, the party has a mature, experienced leadership in place. With this objective, the party has begun grooming young leaders well in advance.
The source further added, "The party is also promoting several young leaders at the state level. In Chhattisgarh, Vijay Sharma has been appointed Deputy Chief Minister, while in Gujarat, Harsh Sanghavi has been elevated to the post of Deputy Chief Minister." This move is seen as a strategic decision to strengthen the party's organisational structure and recognise talent from various states. Nabin, a 45-year-old Bihar minister and five-term MLA, brings rich experience in governance and party organisation to the role. (ANI)
