In an exclusive interaction with India Today, Professor Rakesh Sinha, former MP and author, discusses the significance of Nitin Nabin’s appointment as the youngest BJP President at age 45. Sinha describes this move as a cornerstone of the ‘Great Modi Vision of Democracy,’ aimed at dismantling the ‘political zamindari’ or dynastic control prevalent in Indian politics. He emphasizes that while opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav represent ‘Generation J’ within family hierarchies, the BJP is empowering grassroots workers. Sinha highlights PM Narendra Modi’s goal to bring one lakh youths without political lineages into leadership roles to achieve a ‘Vixit Lok Tantra’ (Developed Democracy). The conversation also touches upon the party’s ideological mission to decolonise the Indian mind and the seamless transition of power within the BJP, citing the presence of four former presidents in the current cabinet as a testament to the party’s unique organizational culture and commitment to merit over dynasty.
