New opportunity is party’s blessing: BJP’s national working president Nitin Nabin

Newly appointed BJP national working president Nitin Nabin on Monday termed his elevation as a blessing of the party and thanked its leadership for the trust reposed in him.

Nabin, who is Bihar's PWD minister, pledged to carry forward the work of his late father and former BJP MLA Nabin Kishor Prasad Sinha.

He was talking to reporters this morning after paying floral tributes to a statue of his father at a park in Patna.

“I have always worked on the ideas of my father, who considered the party as his mother and prioritised the nation over everything. I think that is the reason the party has blessed me with this opportunity to continue working with BJP workers," he said.

The BJP leader also visited Patna's Mahavir Mandir to offer prayers.

Nabin was appointed on Sunday as the BJP national working president and is likely to eventually succeed JP Nadda as its national president, signalling a generational shift in the ruling party.

He expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised his leadership.

"Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, development has reached every town and village of the country. At the same time, the Bharatiya Janata Party has also expanded its footprint and stands today as the party of the poor," he asserted.
