Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) new president Nitin Nabin is set to announce his team soon.
The average age of the team is likely to be under 55. Sunil Bansal and Vinod Tawde are likely to be promoted, said sources.
According to sources, multiple rounds of meetings have been held to finalise the list. State and regional representation has been kept in mind while preparing it.
Changes are expected in the Parliamentary Board too. “A big announcement is awaited on poll-bound states’ poll in-charges," they said.
Thursday’s meeting
Nabin on Thursday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah amid talks of a reshuffle in the party’s central team. According to sources, BJP general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh was also present at the meeting, which lasted for about three hours at Shah’s residence.

While there was no official word, the meeting is learnt to have discussed a range of issues, including the BJP’s new team of national office-bearers. The BJP’s new central team under Nabin, who became the party’s national president in January, is expected to have a mix of “experienced seniors and younger leaders", the sources said. They also suggested that some leaders holding positions in the government could be moved to the party and assigned key responsibilities. The names of those to be inducted into the BJP’s new central team will soon be announced, the sources added.
Structural reset
News18 had earlier reported that these changes, involving key state appointments and a generational shift, are based on recent internal assessments. The changes are closely tied to regional shifts, including poll preparations in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, and Punjab.
The rise of Nabin represents a deliberate push towards normalising a younger leadership succession model while retaining strict ideological continuity. The structural reset coincides with upcoming Assembly bypolls, including the seat recently vacated by Nitin Nabin himself following his elevation to the party’s top post.
This central reshuffle follows major preparatory restructuring at the state level. Just days earlier, the BJP executed a sweeping organisational overhaul in its poll-bound Uttar Pradesh unit, replacing all six regional presidents to recalibrate regional and caste equations ahead of key electoral contests.
