The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to announce its new national president by the middle of March—15th or 16th—after organisational elections in over 13 states conclude. Party sources suggest that the decision on JP Nadda's successor will be made by building internal consensus.
"As being anticipated, the party aims to appoint a woman to this top post, most likely from South India to send a strong organisational message to the people of the Southern states," a senior functionary hinted. Either Andhra BJP chief Daggubati Purandeshwari or BJP Mahila Morcha national president and Coimbatore MLA Vanathi Srinivasan could emerge as the most likely candidate if a woman from the South is chosen for the position.
