The Saffron Engine

INNER ENGINEERING: Triumphs. Challenges. Introspection. And what makes the BJP tick

JAGAT PRAKASH NADDA , President, Bharatiya Janata Party

It was not an easy job for Jagat Prakash Nadda to assume the BJP’s national leadership. He had to make a mark in a space vacated by three illustrious predecessors—Nitin Gadkari, Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah. Yet, as the national president of the saffron party, Nadda has carved out his own path and doesn’t seem anxious about being overshadowed by any legacy. He credits this smooth transition to the tradition of collective leadership practised within the BJP. At the India Today Conclave, Nadda opened up about the party’s road map for the future, its stand on contentious issues such as the farmers’ protests and the secret behind the BJP’s formidable election record in recent times.
