New Delhi, Jan 20,2020: Jagat Prakash Nadda is all set to become the 11th national president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) succeeding one of the most successful party chiefs Amit Shah.
Born on December 2, 1960 to Narain Lall Nadda and Krishna Nadda, Jagat Prakash was educated at St Xavier’s School, Patna.
Thereafter he did his BA from Patna College, Patna University and LLB from Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla.
Sources said a number of senior leaders including from states and newly elected state unit chiefs are likely to file the nomination papers in support of 59-year old Mr Nadda.
Mr Shah and another former party chief Nitin Gadkari are also likely to file nomination papers in favour of Mr Nadda.
In June 2019, J P Nadda was appointed as the working president – first time in the party – as a prelude to his election as the new organisational head of the saffron party.
Known for his amiable personality, Nadda is seen as the choice of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Shah for the job.
