Smriti Irani is appointed as the BJP’s National General Secretary, and she publicly thanks Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Nitin Nabin for the new role. In a post on X on Monday, Irani says the appointment reflects her journey from an “ordinary BJP karyakarta” to a key organisational responsibility and describes the experience as “deeply honoured” and “grateful.”
BJP president Nitin Nabin announces the updated team and organisational responsibilities, with Irani included among the leaders taking on important roles. Irani’s remarks also reference the party leadership’s focus on “Viksit Bharat,” describing it as an ongoing national commitment rather than a distant vision. She adds that organisational responsibilities for BJP workers are opportunities to serve, and she says she will work to strengthen the party’s grassroots base while contributing to nation-building. Across outlets, both report the appointment and Irani’s acknowledgement of Modi and Nabin, with coverage emphasizing her personal reaction and the organisational context rather than policy details.
