Bharatiya Janata Party President Jagat Prakash Nadda is joining the new cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He is going to take oath as a Union Minister. After joining the cabinet, he will definitely have to leave the post of party president. But the question arises that who will take charge of BJP after Nadda.
Jagat Prakash Nadda has been the BJP President since 2020. He is a Rajya Sabha member. Nadda has also been the Health Minister. Nitin Gadkari was the President of BJP from 2010 to 2013.
With Nadda joining the cabinet, there has been a stir regarding the name of the new BJP president. Till yesterday, some names were coming forward – Bhupendra Yadav, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Manohar Lal and Dharmendra Pradhan were prominent among them. But Bhupendra Yadav, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Manohar Lal and Dharmendra Pradhan also took oath in the Modi cabinet. Therefore, all these people are also out of the race.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the first president
Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has also been the President of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Vajpayee was the party president from 1980 to 1986. After him, this responsibility was taken over by senior leader LK Advani. Advani remained the party president till 1991. Murli Manohar Joshi took over this responsibility from 1991 to 1993. After Joshi, Advani once again became the President of BJP. He remained in this position from 1993 to 1998. Kushabhau Thakre from 1998 to 2000, Bangaru Laxman (2000-2001), Jana Krishnamurthy, Venkaiah Naidu, LK Advani (2004-2005), Rajnath Singh (2005-2005), Nitin Gadkari (2009-2013), Rajnath Singh (2013-2014), Amit Shah (2014-2020) and Jagat Prakash Nadda (2020 till now).
