BJP Names New Team: Smriti Irani Among 8 General Secretaries, 13 Vice-Presidents

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its new national team under party president JP Nadda, appointing 13 vice-presidents and eight general secretaries. Union Minister Smriti Irani is among the general secretaries, according to the party's official announcement.

The organisational revamp also includes a restructuring of the party's media and social media teams, signalling an emphasis on strengthening communication and outreach efforts. The new appointments bring together seasoned leaders and newer faces, reflecting a mix of experience and organisational balance.

While the full list of office bearers has been released by the party, the appointments are seen as part of the BJP's broader strategy to prepare for upcoming electoral challenges and expand its presence across states. The party leadership has not issued a detailed statement on the rationale behind individual appointments, but such changes typically aim to accommodate regional and social equations.

This is the first major team reshuffle under the current leadership, and political observers note that it comes ahead of several state assembly elections. The BJP has not disclosed the exact schedule for the new team's responsibilities, but the members are expected to take charge in the coming days.

The announcement was made through the party's official channels, and the full list of vice-presidents, general secretaries, and media team members is available for public reference.
