NEW DELHI: As most senior party functionaries have made it to the council of ministers, all eyes are now on who will be the next BJP president as the incumbent chief J P Nadda has been inducted into the Cabinet. Seniors like Bhupender Yadav, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Dharmendra Pradhan have also been sworn in as Cabinet ministers, paving the way for a new face to lead BJP.
Some former ministers who did not figure in PM Modi’s new council of ministers are also expected to be drafted in for roles in the party.

Nadda’s extended term as BJP chief is scheduled to end this month. Although the party constitution allows him to hold two positions, there is a possibility that the party brass will appoint a new face. For the new president, a woman, an OBC and a prominent leader from south Indian states could be the likely considerations.
