Congratulating Nitin Nabin for becoming the 12th and youngest-ever National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Prime Minister Narendra Modi called him ‘his boss in matters related to the party’. The PM then called Nitin a ‘millennial’, who belongs to a generation that has witnessed a great deal of change in India.
"When it comes to party matters, Mananiya (honourable) Nitin Nabin ji... I am a worker, and you are my boss. Now, honourable Nitin Nabin ji is the president of all of us, and his responsibility is not just to manage the BJP, but also to ensure coordination among all NDA allies," the Prime Minister said. PM Modi said Nabin belongs to an era in which people heard the news on the radio in childhood and are now well-versed in using Artificial Intelligence. "Nitin ji has both youthful energy and a great deal of experience," he added.
The Prime Minister said under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani and Murali Manohar Joshi, the BJP saw a journey from zero to the summit.
"In this century, leaders like M Venkaiah Naidu and Nitin Gadkari, along with many of our senior colleagues, expanded the organisation. Under the leadership of Rajnath ji, for the first time, the BJP achieved a full majority on its own," PM Modi said.
"Then, under the leadership of Amit Shah, the BJP formed governments in many states and came to power at the Centre for a second consecutive term. Under the leadership of JP Nadda, the BJP grew stronger from the panchayat to Parliament,” the Prime Minister added.
