New Delhi
In the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), speculation about the new national president has intensified. After the tenure of JP Nadda, everyone’s eyes are on who will be the next president. According to reports, the name of the new chairman may be finalized in the National Executive and National Council meeting to be held in Bengaluru from 18 to 20 April. According to sources, this time the possibility of making a leader from South India a national president is strong. In this race, Andhra Pradesh BJP President Daggubati Purandeshwari and BJP Mahila Morcha national president and Coimbatore MLA Vanti Srinivas are at the forefront.
The names of women leaders are at the forefront
Daggubati Purandeshwari joined BJP in 2014 and has a strong hold in South India with organizational experience. He is also called ‘Sushma of South’. At the same time, Vanati Srinivas is also considered a strong candidate, who has a big impact in Tamil Nadu.
Other potential contenders
Apart from these two women leaders, the names of Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Manohar Lal Khattar and Dharmendra Pradhan are also in discussion. However, according to sources, BJP and RSS agree on Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Dharmendra Pradhan, but Amit Shah has objected to Manohar Lal Khattar.
Why the possibility of becoming president from South India?
As part of the BJP’s strategy, there are indications of being made president from South India for the expansion of the party in states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Assembly elections are to be held in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the next few months, so the party may lead to South India to strengthen its organization. Now everyone’s eyes are fixed on the meeting of April 18-20, where the new national president of BJP will be officially announced.
