Through the winter of 2025, all the news coming out from the Bharatiya Janata Party organisation was about the long-delayed election of a new party president. That season ended in the last week of December, when the BJP brass announced Bihar minister and five-time MLA Nitin Nabin would replace J.P. Nadda. According to party bylaws, the election for national president requires a 50 per cent quorum from the 36 state units (including UTs). The party had the quorum: 31 state units had been elected already. The problem, which continues till date, has been the five remaining states.
