BJP New President: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is currently in the process of finalizing its new president. A recent meeting took place between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the top leadership of the BJP to deliberate and decide upon the individual who will take on the role of the new party president.

New Delhi/Jaipur, Rakesh Chaudhary: He reports that Prime Minister Modi is known for making unexpected decisions. There is significant speculation regarding the selection of the new president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The party's high command, in coordination with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is actively seeking a new leader. Sources suggest the possibility of appointing a woman as the president for the first time in the history of the BJP.

Senior party sources indicate that former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raj is being considered for the position of president. Raje currently serves as the national vice president of the party, and an official announcement regarding her appointment is expected soon. Additionally, names such as Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Dharmendra Pradhan, Anurag Thakur, Sunil Bansal, and Keshav Prasad Maurya are under discussion. However, the final decision remains pending.

How strong and effective is Vasundhara's relationship with Modi and Shah?

The relationship between Vasundhara Raj and PM Modi as well as Amit Shah has been reportedly strainedIn the 2023 assembly elections, Raje was a prominent candidate for the Chief Minister position but was not successful, as Bhajanlal Sharma, a first-time MLA, was appointed as CM by Modi and Shah. In 2018, Amit Shah's intention to appoint Jodhpur MP and Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat as the president of Rajasthan was overridden due to Raje's insistence. The forthcoming decision on the party's leadership will be closely observed.

There is speculation within political circles that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may consider appointing Vasundhara Raje as the party president in response to her public expressions of discontent towards the party leadership. This potential move is reminiscent of the party's previous strategy of addressing similar concerns by appointing Shivraj Singh Chauhan as a central minister. By adopting this approach, the BJP aims to create opportunities for emerging leaders from the younger generation at the state level.

The party will benefit from making her the president

Appointing Vasundhara Raj as the party president could serve multiple strategic objectives for the BJP. As a member of the Kurmi community, her appointment may assist the party in securing the support of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) vote bank. Additionally, her presidency could potentially help in consolidating support from the women's voter base. Furthermore, given Vasundhara Raje's affiliation with the Jat royal family of Dholpur through marriage, her appointment may also contribute to garnering support from the Jat community.
