The phrase BJP for 45, Nitin for 45 has sparked intense political discussion across the country. The Bharatiya Janata Party has appointed Bihar minister and five-time MLA Nitin Naveen as its acting national president, surprising many senior leaders. The move came just before the election of the next BJP president.
Nitin Naveen left Patna for Delhi after his nomination. Party insiders see this step as a clear signal of trust in a grassroots leader with strong organisational skills. BJP is completing 45 years, and Nitin Naveen is also 45 years old, making the slogan BJP for 45, Nitin for 45 symbolically powerful.
Several heavyweight names were in circulation. Leaders like Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Dharmendra Pradhan, Bhupendra Yadav, Manohar Lal Khattar, and Keshav Prasad Maurya were discussed. Yet, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah once again surprised everyone.
Political analysts say Nitin’s clean image, repeated victories from Bankipur, and organisational success played a major role. His elevation also sends a message that performance matters more than caste size.
If confirmed as full president in 2026, Nitin Naveen will become the youngest BJP president and the first from Bihar, marking a historic shift for the party.
