**Rephrased Title:** BJP's New Working President Nitin Nabin Takes Charge: A New Era for the Party? **Rephrased Article:** NEW DELHI: Nitin Nabin, the newly-appointed national working president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), began his tenure on Monday at the party headquarters in Delhi, where he was warmly welcomed by senior leaders, including party chief JP Nadda and Union home minister Amit Shah. Nabin, a 45-year-old minister in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Bihar, was appointed to the post on Sunday, which was created in 2019. As he assumes the role, Nabin will spend the next month getting familiar with his duties and responsibilities, said a party functionary. He will eventually take over as the BJP president after January 14, marking a significant change in the party's leadership. Nabin, a five-time legislator, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the party, leveraging his organisational skills to drive public service and nation-building. Nadda and Shah congratulated Nabin on his appointment, expressing confidence in his ability to lead the party forward. "I am confident that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, your organisational skills will provide a new direction to the BJP's journey of public service and nation-building," said Nadda. Shah added, "I am confident that under your leadership, the organisation will expand even further, and you will take the policies of the Modi government and the party's ideology to every individual." Nabin, who flew in from Patna earlier in the day, was felicitated at the BJP headquarters, where he thanked the party's leadership for reposing their trust in him. He expressed his priority to strengthen the organisation and create a new leadership, saying, "The BJP not only promotes youths but also guides and curates them to achieve larger goals. It is the only party that allows its grassroots workers to thrive." Party leaders describe Nabin as a disciplined leader, well-versed in the BJP's ideology and work ethic. "He has been very active since his Yuva Morcha days. He has not been a controversial leader and is humble. We do not expect senior leaders to face any difficulty in working with him, given he is only 45," said a party functionary. As Nabin begins his tenure, the BJP has already started preparations for the next year's assembly polls in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, and Assam. The party has appointed Jay Panda as the poll in-charge of Assam, while Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal will take over as the election in-charge of Tamil Nadu.
