A meeting was held between the top brass of the BJP in Delhi regarding the party's organisational elections on Wednesday. The meeting was held in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence.

It was also attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and the BJP's National General Secretary (Organisation), BL Santosh. The party discussed he upcoming election for the BJP's National President. According to ANI, the announcement regarding the election could be made within a week.

Alongside discussions on national leadership, the meeting also centred around organisational restructuring at the state level. Names of potential new BJP state presidents for Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh were deliberated. The party is likely to announce appointments for around half a dozen state units within the next two to three days.

The reshuffle is expected to have a significant impact on the BJP's electoral strategy ahead of the upcoming polls.

"The election process for choosing the BJP's national president could begin any time after April 20," the party sources told ANI.

The election for the BJP National President, originally scheduled for January, remains pending even as April reaches its midpoint. According to the BJP constitution, the term of the National President is generally three years, elected through consensus within the party.

According to the new agency, the delay stems from the leadership's intent to carefully choose a successor capable of further strengthening the organisation. JP Nadda, who has held the position since January 2020, had his term extended beyond the customary three-year limit to facilitate a smooth transition and ensure adequate preparation for the party's next phase of leadership.
