BJP May Get New Working President By End Of August: Report

Amid the ongoing speculation over who would replace the current national president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jagat Prakash Nadda, it is being said that the saffron party will likely get a new working president by the end of August, News 18 reported.

But since Nadda has been given charge of the Union Health Ministry in the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and the election to choose a new BJP chief is unlikely to be held before January 2025, the party will probably go in for a working president to share the work load with Nadda. Despite his tenure ending a month ago, Nadda was asked to remain at the...
