JP Nadda to ultimately replace Amit Shah

JP Nadda, the former Union Health Minister, has been appointed the working president of the BJP.  He will hold the position for 6 months.  It’s believed that, post this, he will be made the President, replacing Amit Shah.

Starting his career as an ordinary ABVP member, Nadda hails from Himachal Pradesh.  His role in helping the saffron party perform extremely well in Uttar Pradesh in the recent elections, is spectacular.  In 2014, there was big talk that he would succeed be made the party president.  However, Narendra Modi and others pitched in Shah.  

Now that Shah is a Union Minister, the ruling party has been looking for new talent.  It has found the most suitable replacement in Nadda.  “Shri @JPNadda is a diligent Karyakarta of the Party, who has risen through the ranks due to his hardwork and organizational skills. Humble and affable, he is widely respected across the BJP family. Congratulations to him on becoming the Working President of the Party,” the Prime Minister tweeted out.
