A big political party in India called the BJP got a new leader named Nitin Nabin.
He just changed the team of people who help run the party.
This is the first big change he has made since he became the party president.
He brought back some experienced leaders, like Smriti Irani and Ram Madhav.
He also removed some people who worked for the old leader, J P Nadda.

Most of the new team members are new people.
