‘Matter of pride’: After Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark, PM Modi shares post praising Nitin Nabin

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday shared a post about Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Nabin, detailing his journey from a student to becoming a legislator. He did not name anyone, but it was seen as a rebuff to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal after he made a disparaging remark about Nabin. In December 2025, PM Modi praised him for having distinguished himself as a hardworking worker when Nabin was appointed as the BJP’s working president. (File Image) “This simplicity and straightforwardness are a matter of pride for every BJP worker…” Modi said, sharing the post of Piyush Padmakar, an old associate of Nabin. Padmakar wrote the post on Sunday about Nabin’s humility and how he lived frugally as a student despite his father being a legislator in Bihar. “…Even then, Nitin was the most disciplined and sociable among the four friends. If there were fights among us, it was Nitin who would resolve them,” Padmkar wrote. ALSO READ | Parvesh Verma’s ‘remember me?’ retort to Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark …

Delhi Confidential: Poll Priority | Delhi Confidential News

2 min readJul 1, 2026 03:08 AM IST BJP general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh is likely to accompany president Nitin Nabin on a visit to Uttar Pradesh in the first week of July. This will be Nabin’s first trip to UP after organisational ranks in the state were overhauled last week. Some insiders link the trip to election preparations in the poll-bound state, while others say Santhosh’s presence underlines a crucial development — the final vetting of “loyal hands” from the state for the BJP’s national hierarchy. Notable Departure The Rashtriya Lok Dal’s reconstituted 19-member parliamentary board has an interesting hierarchy. The board, reconstituted on Tuesday and tasked with scrutinising ticket aspirants and recommending candidates, will be headed by former Rajya Sabha MP K C Tyagi, the veteran JD(U) leader who joined the RLD barely three months ago. Party president and Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary, meanwhile, figures as just another member of the board. Generally, the parliamentary board is chaired by the party president, making the RLD’s arrangement a notable departure. Besides organisational functionaries …

BJP’s blueprint for Punjab polls: Deras, Akal Takht, digital outreach | Political Pulse News

A crack team working under BJP national president Nitin Nabin’s direct supervision, renewed outreach to thousands of deras across Punjab through the RSS-BJP network, and a campaign centred on drug abuse, law and order, national security and Central welfare schemes are expected to form the core of the BJP’s electoral strategy for Punjab, sources said. Key questions, however, remain unresolved ahead of the 2027 polls. These include whether the BJP will revive its alliance with former partner the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), which broke ties with the party over the now-repealed farm laws in 2020, and how it plans to engage with the Akal Takht. Sources said BJP Nabin’s recently concluded three-day visit to the poll-bound state has laid the groundwork for what is likely to be the party’s most focused Punjab campaign in recent years. “The party’s work on Punjab began immediately after the West Bengal Assembly election results were announced last month. Outreach to deras, which influence a significant section of voters in the state, is already underway. The party will soon launch …

People of Punjab won’t tolerate disrespect of their Gurus, will punish…”: BJP chief Nitin Nabin slams CM Bhagwant Mann | Chandigarh News

In a scathing attack on Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over the alleged sacrilege video, BJP national president Nitin Nabin said on Sunday that the “people of Punjab will not tolerate the disrespect of their Gurus” and that the “time has come to punish him for the act”. With the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections drawing closer, Mann has been embroiled in a major controversy over an alleged sacrilege video purportedly showing him sprinkling liquor on images of Sikh Gurus. The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs, has declared the video “authentic” on the basis of forensic reports and described Mann as “Guru dokhi” (anti-Guru) and “panth virodhi” (anti-panth). Mann, however, has maintained that the person in the video was not him but an actor used to defame him. Nabin, who is on a three-day visit to Punjab, addressed a karyakarta sammelan in Ludhiana on Sunday. Attacking Mann, he said from the stage: “It would be better if I do not comment on the working style of Punjab’s Chief Minister. It feels disheartening …
