Congress and AAP leaders have criticized the appointment of Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin as the BJP's new National Working President, alleging a 'lack of process'. Nabin, 45, is the youngest-ever BJP president, succeeding JP Nadda in the role.
Opposition Parties Slam Appointment Process
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Sunday took a jibe at the BJP, alleging "lack of a process" in the appointment of the party's National Working President. The BJP has appointed Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin as the party's youngest National Working President. Gogoi, in an X post, alleged that Nabin was appointed without consulting the majority of party workers, hinting at a lack of support for the Bihar Minister within the party. "The nomination of the national working President of the BJP shows both a lack of process and a lack of engagement with the sentiment of the majority of the party workers," the Congress MP said.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj also mockingly referred to Nabin as "'Parchi' (slip) National President," claiming that the Bihar Minister was selected for the post by the party leadership instead of a democratic internal process. "'National Parchi System' Moving Forward. Parchi Minister, Parchi Chief Minister, Parchi National President," the AAP leader wrote on X.
