BJP's New Team Shows Amit Shah's Signature, Nabin as President
The Bharatiya Janata Party, also called the BJP, is one of the biggest political groups in India.
The party just announced a brand-new team of 65 people to help run things.
A younger leader named Nitin Nabin, who is 45 years old, is in charge, but many people say senior leader Amit Shah really helped pick the team.
Famous leaders like Piyush Goyal and Smriti Irani got important new jobs.
Some leaders who were seen as not doing well lost their positions.
The party also changed who runs its online and social media team, replacing Amit Malviya with Deepak Mhaskey.
The new team has at least 12 women and six people from minority communities.
Most members are around 55 years old, so the team mixes young and experienced people.
The party wants to do better in upcoming elections, especially in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 2027.
This is one way the party is getting ready for big election battles.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal was appointed National Treasurer of the BJP's new 65-member team.
Smriti Irani was inducted as National General Secretary in the overhaul led by president Nitin Nabin.
Deepak Mhaskey replaced long-time head Amit Malviya as the party's IT cell head.
The team includes at least 12 women and six leaders from minority communities, with an average age of around 55.
Observers say Amit Shah's data-driven style is visible, with sidelined leaders elevated and perceived non-performers dropped.
