Patna: Newly appointed Bihar BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi on Monday expressed gratitude to the party’s central leadership, calling the BJP “like a mother” and assuring strong coordination between the organisation and the government.
Speaking to reporters on December 15, Saraogi said he would work to justify the trust placed in him and further strengthen the party across the state. He highlighted the BJP’s organisational culture, saying the party closely observes the work of every leader and worker, from the booth level to the top leadership, before assigning responsibilities.
BJP Highlights Grassroots Rise
Referring to recent developments, Saraogi said the appointment of Nitin Navin as National Executive President was a proud moment for Bihar. He added that the BJP is the only party where even a grassroots worker can rise to top positions. On Mithila’s representation, Saraogi said the region has received due respect, noting that the people of Darbhanga have elected him six times and the party has now given him a major responsibility at the state level.
He pledged to carry out his duties with honesty and dedication. Following his appointment, Saraogi has been receiving congratulatory messages from party leaders. Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary congratulated him, expressing confidence that the BJP would continue to strengthen its organisation in Bihar under his leadership.
BJP Appoints National President
Earlier, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday appointed Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin as its National Working President. At 45, Nabin becomes the youngest leader to hold the post.
A five-time MLA from the Bankipur assembly constituency, Nabin is credited with the BJP’s electoral performance in Chhattisgarh, where he served as the party’s state in-charge during the 2024 elections. His elevation is being seen as part of the party’s broader effort to project a generational shift ahead of key state polls.
Party Workers Influences His Work Approach
Reacting to his appointment, Nabin underlined his grassroots background, saying party workers shaped his political approach while senior leaders guided him along the way. “Politics is a matter of patience,” he said.
Nabin has previously served as the National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the BJP’s youth wing, and is considered an organisational leader with experience across states.
The Congress, however, criticised the appointment, alleging a lack of transparency in the selection process.
