New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its much-awaited national team under party president Nitin Nabin, bringing a mix of experienced leaders and young faces into the organisation.
The 65-member team focuses on social representation, regional balance and youth participation, with 12 women leaders included in key positions. The restructuring is being viewed as a preparation strategy for the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
One of the biggest highlights of the reshuffle is the return of former Union Minister Smriti Irani to the BJP organisation. Irani, who remained away from national politics after losing the Amethi Lok Sabha seat, has been appointed as a National General Secretary.
Former BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav has also made a comeback and has been appointed as a National Vice President.
Meanwhile, BJP’s long-time IT cell head Amit Malviya has been removed from the position. His place has been given to Deepak Mhaske from Chhattisgarh as the new head of the party’s IT cell.
The new BJP team reflects a strong focus on younger leaders. The organisation includes:
More than 40% of the team members belong to socially disadvantaged communities, highlighting the party’s emphasis on wider representation.
A senior BJP leader said the team has been prepared keeping the requirements of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections in mind.
The list includes leaders such as Ram Madhav, Vasundhara Raje, Tirath Singh Rawat, Baijayant Panda, D Purandeswari, Rekha Verma, Bharati Pawar, Manpreet Singh Badal and Tariq Mansoor, among others.
The new team includes:
Only Sunil Bansal and Vinod Tawde from the previous team have retained their positions among the existing general secretaries.
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has once again been appointed as the BJP’s national treasurer. Rajesh Mangal has been appointed as the co-treasurer.
Former BJP office bearer Rajesh Agarwal had earlier handled the treasurer responsibility.
The party has made changes in its media and digital communication structure. After criticism over the handling of online narratives during recent youth movements, BJP has appointed Deepak Mhaske as the new IT cell chief.
The party has also appointed Anil Baluni as the media coordinator.
Vadodara MP Dr Hemang Joshi has been appointed as the new president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
