New Delhi, 20 January (H.S.): Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Nitin Nabin on assuming the role of BJP national president on Tuesday, January 20, declaring himself a humble party worker and affirming that Nabin is his boss on organisational matters during a ceremony at the BJP headquarters.

Attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, outgoing president J.P. Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and senior leaders, the event underscored BJP's democratic ethos through a fully internal electoral process.

PM Modi emphasised that positions change but ideals endure, leadership evolves yet direction remains steadfast, positioning BJP as a family where relationships trump mere membership.

PM Modi outlined Nabin's expansive mandate beyond BJP to foster cohesion across the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), expressing confidence in his youthful vigour and experience to advance the party's legacy. He lauded the organisational festival's 100% democratic execution as a symbol of discipline and worker-centric ethos, felicitating nationwide karyakartas.

Recalling past presidents from Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Nadda, Modi shared his political journey: three terms as premier pale against the pride of being a lifelong BJP karyakarta. He portrayed Nabin—spanning radio to AI eras—as embodying this blend, poised to lead through India's pivotal next 25 years toward Viksit Bharat.

Highlighting BJP's electoral dominance—sustained majorities in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar; first-time solo wins in Haryana, Assam, Tripura, Odisha; surges in West Bengal, Telangana; municipal triumphs like 25/29 Maharashtra cities (50% councillors), Kerala's 100 councillors, and Thiruvananthapuram's mayoral victory after 45 years—Modi credited transforming power into selfless service.

PM Modi touted welfare milestones: PM-JANMAN for tribal marginals, Ujjwala freeing sisters from smoke, Lakhpati Didi empowering rural women, Jal Jeevan Mission piping water to crores, grounding social justice and poor kalyan from files to doorsteps with a stability-governance-sensitivity model.

Flagging infiltration as a national threat—no country tolerates it, nor will India compromise poor/youth rights—he urged exposing vote-bank politics shielding intruders, slamming Congress for shirking self-review to protect one family and imploring BJP workers to avoid their 'Error'.

Concluding with renewed best wishes to Nabin, Modi encapsulated the ethos: Greater than self is the party, greater than party is the nation—BJP karyakarta's lifelong mantra.
