In a significant political development, the top leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) convened an important meeting on Wednesday in New Delhi to discuss upcoming organizational elections and leadership changes.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted the meeting at his official residence.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP’s National General Secretary (Organization) BL Santhosh joined the Prime Minister for the closed-door discussions.
The meeting signals the party’s active push to restructure and energize its internal machinery ahead of crucial elections.
BJP President Election On The Agenda
One of the primary focuses of the meeting was the long-pending election for the next BJP National President.
According to senior party sources, the official announcement could come within a week.
State elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi delayed the election process, which was originally scheduled for January 2025.
However, sources now suggest the process could begin any time after April 20.
State-Level Reshuffles Underway
In addition to national leadership discussions, the party also evaluated potential changes at the state level.
Leaders reportedly reviewed candidates for new BJP state presidents in key battleground states such as Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh.

Insiders believe that the BJP may announce about half a dozen new state unit presidents within the next two to three days.
This move is part of a broader strategy to reinvigorate local leadership ahead of the upcoming elections.
Younger Leadership In The Pipeline
With an eye on the future, the BJP is reportedly considering younger leaders for key organizational roles.
Sources indicate that the party could replace some current General Secretaries to build a younger, more dynamic leadership structure.
“The party is planning for the long term, and a generational shift in leadership could help maintain momentum going into the next phase of elections,” a senior BJP official stated.
Nadda’s Term Nears End, Transition Expected Soon
JP Nadda, who has served as the BJP President since January 2020, received an extension beyond the usual three-year term.
This extension was aimed at ensuring stability and providing ample time for a smooth transition to the next leadership phase.
Although the BJP Constitution sets the President’s term at three years, leaders often reach a consensus on extensions or transitions based on electoral timing and organizational needs.
As the BJP prepares for major state and national elections, the leadership’s focus on both national and state-level restructuring signals a strategic shift.
Party leaders expect the upcoming announcements on the BJP President and state unit heads to play a crucial role in shaping the electoral roadmap.
