New Delhi: The new BJP working president, Nitin Nabin, faces several challenges. A five-time MLA and in-charge of Chhattisgarh, Nitin Nabin has no significant experience in national politics. However, he has the example of Prime Minister Narendra Modi before him. When the BJP decided to make him the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he wasn't even an MLA. Similarly, when he was declared the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, he hadn't played any major role in central politics. He had never even been a Member of Parliament. But after becoming Prime Minister, he proved to be a charismatic leader.

Nitin Nabin's biggest challenge: the West Bengal elections

As party president, Nitin Nabin's first major challenge will be the West Bengal elections. Here, Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress will prove to be tough opponents. Furthermore, establishing the BJP's presence in the southern states will be a major litmus test of Nitin Nabin's electoral and organizational capabilities.

BJP MLA Rajkumar Bhatia, who arrived at the party's national office to welcome the new working president Nitin Naveen, said that this is a step towards the party entering a new era. He said that the BJP's top leadership has shown that they not only give orders to the workers but are also ready to work alongside them and empower them.

Rajkumar Bhatia said that some people in the opposition were recently questioning whether the country's Gen Z was with Modi. But by giving such a big responsibility to the young Nitin Naveen, who is only 45 years old, PM Modi and Amit Shah have shown what they think about the country's youth population.
