The new president was congratulated by senior BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and others during a grand ceremony at BJP headquarters.

Addressing party workers, PM Modi said, “When it comes to party matters, I am a worker and Nitin Nabin-ji is my boss. Now Nitin Nabin-ji is the president of all of us, and his responsibility is not just to manage the BJP, but also to ensure coordination among all NDA allies.”
