New Delhi, Jan 20: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday officially welcomed Nitin Nabin as the new president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, describing himself as a dedicated party worker serving under Nabin’s leadership.
During the transition ceremony from outgoing chief JP Nadda, the Prime Minister noted that despite his long tenure as head of government, his primary identity remains that of a party member.
He stated that the new president represents a millennial generation capable of bridging the gap between traditional organizational values and modern technological advancements.
“You will think Modi is a third term PM, became CM at 50 years, has been head of government for 25 years but all these things are secondary. My greatest pride is — I am a BJP worker and Nitin Nabin ji is my boss,” the Prime Minister directly said.
He noted that Nabin’s familiarity with both the era of radio and artificial intelligence provides the youthful energy required to lead the party as it approaches the 75th anniversary of the Jana Sangh’s establishment.
Addressing a gathering of senior leaders and Chief Ministers, the Prime Minister listed illegal immigration and urban naxalism as the most significant hurdles currently facing the nation. He remarked that the government maintains a firm stance against those who enter the country illegally, noting that India must protect the rights of its youth and the underprivileged from such threats.
He further explained that identifying and deporting infiltrators is essential for maintaining national security, drawing parallels with global practices where developed nations prioritize the removal of illegal residents.
“The biggest challenge is demographic imbalance and infiltration. No nation tolerates infiltrators in its land. India will also not let infiltrators snatch the rights of its poor and youth,” the Prime Minister said.
He also mentioned that certain political entities have attempted to shield these elements for electoral gains, which the party must continue to expose to the public.
