BJP national president J P Nadda on Monday constituted a new core committee for the party's state unit with an eye on next year's panchayat polls and the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, a party leader said.

BJP national general secretary and state observer Sunil Bansal, and the state in charge Mangal Pandey are among the four special invitees to the core committee.

BJP became largest party because of leaders like M L Khurana: J P Nadda

Nadda asked party leaders and workers to learn from Khurana's life, and said he was involved in political struggles and also provided solutions to different issues.

PM Narendra Modi has changed 'corruption culture' in arms deal: JP Nadda

BJP president J P Nadda on Tuesday said earlier corruption was synonymous with arms deal but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has "changed this culture". Nadda stated this while addressing a gathering after inaugurating an indoor auditorium building in his home district Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh.. He said that India earlier used to purchase arms and there used to be several scams in such deals, but now the country is selling arms to the world. Scams such as Bofors scam, helicopters scam, and submarine scam were synonymous with arms deal, but now the export of arms to the world has increased six times, the BJP chief said. Similarly, AIIMS in Bilaspur has been built in record five years despite there was no construction work for almost two years during the Covid pandemic, he added. PM Modi laid foundation stone of AIIMS Bilaspur on 'Ashtami' (October 3) in 2017 and he inaugurated it on Dussehra on October 5 this year, he said, adding that the initial estimated cost of AIIMS was Rs 1,

Nadda may get extension as BJP looks for continuity till next LS polls

BJP president J P Nadda is likely to continue at the helm at least till the 2024 Lok Sabha polls as the party top brass believes that a sense of organisational continuity will help it in a string of key assembly polls in the coming months before the general election. Nadda's three-year term will end in January next year, and the BJP parliamentary board, its apex body, is expected to endorse an extension for him before that, sources said. With organisational polls in BJP state units yet to start, it is obvious that he will continue at the helm, they noted. The party rules stipulate that organisational polls should be over in at least half of its state units before the election of its national president. His predecessor Amit Shah also got an extension as the party wanted him to continue during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. It was only after the parliamentary elections were over that the organisational polls began and Nadda was elected unopposed with Shah joining the Union Cabinet du

No party has ideology, intention, strength to fight BJP: J P Nadda

BJP president J P Nadda on Saturday claimed no other party in the country has the "ideology, intention and strength" to fight the might of the saffron party, which is "on the rise". Addressing a party workers' meet here after inaugurating the new office of the Assam BJP, Nadda asserted that his party is fighting against all the "family-led parties" in every state. "No party has the ideology, intention, and strength to fight the BJP. No party can organise such a large public rally as what BJP is doing with only its workers' meet. Nobody can stop this party," he added. BJP Assam president Bhabesh Kalita had on Thursday announced that around 40,000-45,000 booth workers would assemble at Veterinary College Playground in Khanapara to listen to their leaders. Giving examples of dozens of states and Union Territories like Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, Nadda said, "We are fighting against family-oriented parties everywhere."

DMK is playing petty politics, not following cooperative federalism: Nadda

BJP national chief J P Nadda on Friday mounted a scathing attack on the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu accusing it of indulging in petty politics, legitimising corruption and not working in the spirit of cooperative federalism.
