On this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "People might think that Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of the country, he became the Prime Minister for the third time, he became the Chief Minister at the young age of 50. He has been the Head of the Government for 25 years continuously. All this is in its place, but the biggest thing in my life is that I am a BJP worker. This is the biggest pride. Nitin Navin ji, I am a party worker and he is my boss. Nitin Navin ji is the President of all of us. His responsibility is not only to handle the BJP, he also has to maintain coordination with the NDA allies. Whenever Nitin ji got the responsibility, he proved himself."

Party will make lotus bloom in Bengal: JP Nadda

Meanwhile, former BJP National President JP Nadda said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and the chairmanship of Nitin Nabin, the Bharatiya Janata Party will bring the lotus to power in Bengal in the coming times. We will form governments in Puducherry and Tamil Nadu. We will return to power in Assam and deliver good results in Kerala. We are moving forward with this confidence." He further said, "With the support of all of you, I have tried my best to fulfill my responsibilities to the best of my limited abilities. If I have said anything that has hurt anyone's sentiments while discharging this responsibility, I apologize for that. Nitin Nabin will leave no stone unturned to take this party, this great party, the world's largest party, forward with full strength. And we will all support him and take the party to new heights, and make the lotus bloom in new places and states where we have not yet succeeded."

Change after six years

Nitin Nabin has a reputation as a grassroots worker and a strong hold within the organization. He is a five-time MLA. The selection of Nitin Nabin is considered a strategic move by the BJP. His leadership abilities and reputation for working at the grassroots level have earned him praise both within and outside the party. This move by the BJP is considered particularly important in view of the upcoming elections.

Exactly six years ago, on January 20, 2020, JP Nadda was appointed the BJP's national president. Now, in 2026, the BJP has a new president. This time is crucial for the BJP, especially with elections in states like Assam, Bengal, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, where the party faces significant challenges.

Worship in temples

Ahead of his presidential announcement, Nitin Nabin offered prayers at various prominent temples in Delhi today, sending a clear message that the BJP practices Hindutva politics and that Hindus are the party's core voters.
