BJP chief Nitin Nabin hailed in Mumbai as party drives toward 'Viksit Bharat'

Mumbai, Sep 16 (UNI) Highlighting a decisive generational shift within the world's largest political organisation, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis lavished praise on newly-minted BJP National President Nitin Nabin during his maiden visit to the financial capital.
Speaking at a high-profile event timed with the peak of the state’s vibrant Ganesh festival, Fadnavis underscored how Nabin's elevation injects "fresh blood and vibrant energy" into the party’s core organisation. He lauded the national chief's extensive grassroots connection, noting his long-standing history with Maharashtra as a former state in-charge and his steady electoral dominance.
Nitin Nabin represents a modern generation of leadership that bridges deep organisational roots with dynamic, future-forward momentum," Fadnavis stated, addressing an enthusiastic gathering of party cadres and devotees.
Party leadership underscored Nabin’s emergence as the face of a dynamic new political guard tasked with steering the BJP toward its long-term Viksit Bharat (Developed India) milestones. Acknowledging Nabin’s multi-term legislative experience from Bihar and his prior organisational footprint in Maharashtra, leaders emphasised his intimate familiarity with regional party workers.
Nabin’s arrival during the state-wide Ganesh celebrations significantly amplified local cadre morale, drawing praise from attendees who connected cultural devotion with national progress.
Accepting the warm reception on his first official visit to Maharashtra as national president, Nabin credited the collective blessings of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the visionary roadmap of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for guiding the nation toward robust, purposeful growth.
