Aparajita Sarangi on Elections, BJP's New President Nitin Nabin, Strategy & 2047 Vision

BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi joined India Today to discuss the appointment of Nitin Naveen as the new party president. Sarangi highlighted Naveen's extensive experience, noting he is a five-time MLA and former minister who brings a balance of organizational skill and governance expertise. Addressing upcoming elections in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, West Bengal, and Puducherry, she stated, "We would be winning all the five states definitely with absolutely no doubt." Sarangi dismissed opposition claims that the appointment was a mere 'rubber stamp' or lacked internal democracy, asserting that "cynicism is the disease many people suffer from." She emphasized the party's core pillars: internal democracy, nation-first ideology, cadre cultivation, and good governance. The discussion also touched upon the generational shift within the BJP leadership, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047. Sarangi reiterated that the party remains focused on its strategy and hard work at the booth level to ensure continued electoral success across India.
