New Delhi [India], January 22 : After appointing Nitin Nabin as the party's national president, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken a major step towards making its organisational structure more youth-centric.
According to a BJP source, "During a meeting of the party's national office-bearers, it was decided that the National President of the BJP Yuva Morcha will be appointed from among leaders aged up to 35 years".
The sources added, "In a similar move to strengthen youth leadership at the grassroots level, the party decided that the presidents of the Yuva Morcha units in various states will be appointed from among leaders aged up to 32 years."
The meeting also issued clear directions that all remaining appointments in the state-level youth teams will be made keeping in mind the age of the National President, ensuring a cohesive and youthful leadership structure across the organisation.
