New Delhi: Who will sit in the BJP’s top post? Speculation about the post of BJP’s next national president has increased. The names of many senior BJP leaders like Dharmendra Pradhan, Bhupendra Yadav, Vinod Tawde, Keshav Prasad Maurya are being discussed in the race. However, after 28 July, Devendra Fadnavis’s name was included in the race.
Fadnavis’ name is being discussed on various grounds like OBC card, upcoming elections, closeness with central leaders of BJP-RSS. However, it is said that Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan can sit in the highest position of BJP for his organizational skills and long political experience.
BJP national president JP Nadda is a Brahmin, so the next president may not be of Brahmin caste. As the India bloc continues to play the caste census, OBC and Dalit card, the BJP may choose an OBC for the post of next president. In such a case Dharmendra can become the chief of the party. He has a close relationship with the central leadership with his long experience of working in the BJP central organization and serving as a Union Minister. Dharmendra, who has already been successful in conducting elections in various states, can lead efficiently in the upcoming elections as well. Therefore, even though there is a minister at the center, there are rumors that the high command is considering him for the post of BJP national president.
Devendra Fadnavis, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has held important responsibilities in the Maharashtra government starting from the party organization. He has a great relationship with the top leadership of the BJP and the union. Fadnavis also played a role in bringing the BJP to power in Maharashtra. Besides being in charge of Bihar, he has shown his organizational skills in other states as well. However, Maharashtra BJP has no popular face except Fadnavis. There are rumors that the party may use him in state politics as there are upcoming elections in the state.
The names of Bhupendra Yadav and Keshav Prasad Maurya are also in discussion for the post of BJP national president. OBC face Keshav Prasad Maurya has been the Uttar Pradesh BJP President and Deputy Chief Minister in UP Government. His organizational skills are also seen as the face of Hinduism. The union may not have any objection on his behalf. BJP can send him to the center and put a comma on the political turmoil in UP.
When talking about the highest citizen of India, President Draupadi Murmu is the tribal face and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is representing OBCs. So there is a rumor that the BJP may bring down an oppressed face for the post of president, who can bravely take the side of BJP against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. There is also a rumor that the BJP can appoint a Dalit face to the highest position.
However, the BJP may get a full-time national president by December.
