Hemang Joshi named BJYM national president, vows youth outreach
A political party in India called the BJP has chosen a young leader named Hemang Joshi to lead its youth group, the BJYM.
His job is to talk to young people and get them excited about the party.
He wants to understand what young people care about and use social media to share positive messages.
He says he wants to keep young people away from negative stories and help them work toward a better India, which the Prime Minister calls 'Viksit Bharat'.
Joshi is a physiotherapist and a member of Parliament from a city called Vadodara.
He became an MP in 2024 when he was 33 years old.
He has also traveled to other countries for meetings with a group called BRICS.
Joshi says he will talk to young people directly, even if it means breaking formal rules.
He will also step down from his old job as the youth wing's Gujarat leader.
His goal is to get young people involved before the next big national election in 2029.
BJP MP Hemang Joshi was appointed national president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) on Monday.
Joshi plans to focus on Gen Z concerns, social media narratives, and direct engagement ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
He said the party must keep youth away from 'negative narratives' and toward the Viksit Bharat vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Joshi will resign as BJYM Gujarat president once a successor is decided.
He represented India at the inaugural BRICS Cultural Forum in Russia in 2024 and the 2nd BRICS Traditional Values Forum in Brazil in 2025.
