New Delhi: Newly appointed national working president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitin Nabin, has outlined a bold and far reaching vision for the party, stating that its new objective is to hoist the saffron flag from West Bengal to Kerala in the years ahead. His statements indicate a renewed organisational drive and an assertive expansion strategy, with particular emphasis on eastern and southern India. Political observers believe his remarks mark the start of a new phase in the BJP’s political approach, both in Bihar and at the national level.
Nabin’s visit to the state conveyed a layered message centred on organisational discipline, strengthening the grassroots, generational transition, and regional ambition. Shortly after assuming office, Nabin said the BJP is working on an extensive plan to nurture nearly one lakh new young leaders to further consolidate the party’s organisational base. He noted that the central leadership wants BJP workers to provide leadership at every tier, from the panchayat to Parliament, and stressed that turning this vision into reality depends largely on the commitment and energy of the party’s crores of young workers across the country.
Emphasising the party’s focus on grassroots empowerment, Nabin said the BJP flag would now fly from the panchayat level to Parliament, and that an ordinary worker would be prepared to emerge as a future leader. He asserted that the era of part-time politicians has ended, arguing that politics today requires full-time dedication. According to him, only those who remain active, disciplined, and consistently engaged with the public can move forward in political life.
Highlighting the BJP’s organisational culture, Nabin said the party alone has the capacity to elevate a common worker to the highest leadership positions through patience, discipline, and sustained effort. In a veiled attack on the Opposition, Nabin criticised what he termed “part-time politicians”, maintaining that such an approach neither strengthens an organisation nor earns public confidence. He reiterated that full-time commitment is essential for success in politics and that there are no shortcuts in public life.
Nabin repeatedly stressed that politics demands long-term engagement and perseverance, adding that committed workers rise from booth-level responsibilities to the central leadership through consistent performance and strict adherence to organisational discipline. A political analyst told The Sunday Guardian that Nabin’s elevation as national working president reflects an ongoing generational shift within the BJP. Analysts said his rise at the age of 45 represents the party’s effort to balance experience with youthful energy, particularly to appeal to younger voters and secure long-term political stability.
Observers also noted that Nabin’s Kayastha background could be strategically important for the BJP outreach in West Bengal, where the community enjoys notable social and political influence. At the same time, the large population of Bihari migrants in cities such as Kolkata, Asansol, and Siliguri is viewed as a key voter base in the BJP’s broader eastern India strategy, in line with Nabin’s stated ambition to expand the party’s presence across the region.
