Overview
- The key meeting took place on June 15 and lasted over four hours at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s New Delhi residence with attendees reported to include Nitin Nabin, Amit Shah, J P Nadda, B L Santhosh, Arun Kumar and Dharmendra Pradhan.
- Sources say leaders have narrowed options for a new central team that will mix senior and younger leaders and may include about 11 national vice presidents and six national general secretaries.
- Proposals discussed reportedly include increasing national office‑bearers from roughly 45 to about 60, appointing regional in‑charges, reconstituting the Parliamentary Board, and strengthening grievance redressal and women’s representation.
- Party and government changes are expected to be announced imminently according to insiders, with timing linked to Rajya Sabha polling on June 18 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s return from the G7 around June 19, though no official confirmation has been made.
- The push for restructuring responds to rapid party expansion and practical limits on cabinet size under the 91st Amendment, and it could shift some ministers into party roles, open gubernatorial or board posts, and reshape state units such as a reported 70–80% overhaul of the Delhi unit.
