The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday appointed Bihar minister Nitin Nabin as its National Working President. An official order issued by BJP National General Secretary Arun Singh said the appointment, approved by the party’s Parliamentary Board, would come into effect immediately.
Meanwhile, opposition leaders took a jibe at the saffron party and questioned the party’s internal decision-making process and accused it of sidelining the sentiments of its grassroots workers.
Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said the nomination reflected a lack of transparency and consultation within the party.
“The nomination of the national working President of the BJP shows both a lack of process and a lack of engagement with the sentiment of the majority of the party workers,” he said in a post on X.

Further, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj invoked the BJP’s “parchee system” — a phrase used by the opposition to allege top-down political appointments.
“Raashtreey parchee pratha aage badhate hue parchee mantree, parchee mukhyamantree, parchee raashtreey adhyaksh,” he said in a post on X, suggesting that the BJP’s leadership choices were dictated by a select few rather than emerging from democratic processes.

Opposition leaders have repeatedly accused the BJP of concentrating power in the hands of its central leadership, arguing that organisational decisions are increasingly made without broader consultation.
Nitin Nabin Named BJP President
After a prolonged period of anticipation, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed Bihar minister Nitin Nabin as its new Working President. The decision was taken by the party’s Parliamentary Board.
Nabin currently serves as a minister of Road Construction in the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government.
A five-time MLA, Nitin Nabin has served multiple terms as a minister in the Bihar government, giving him hands-on experience in administration and public service. Within the party, he is widely regarded as a leader who understands both policy-making and grassroots realities, having worked closely with people at the constituency level over several election cycles.
It is expected that Nabin will be elected as the National President of the BJP next year soon after Makar Sakranti (January 14). Earlier, JP Nadda was also made the National Working President of the party before being elected the national president.
