IT cell incharge Amit Malviya did not get a place in the new team of BJP President Nitin Naveen. He was holding this post continuously since 2015. Ram Madhav has been made the vice president and Smriti Irani has been made the general secretary. The party has made Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal the National Treasurer, due to which the discussion of his departure from the Modi cabinet has started. In today’s explainer, we will decode the story behind such big decisions related to the new BJP team and its impact… Question-1: Why was BJP IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya dismissed? Answer: IT cell in BJP was started in 2007 under the leadership of Prodyut Bora. Arvind Gupta got the command in 2010 and he used it extensively in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. In 2015, when Amit Shah became the BJP President, Amit Malviya was handed over the command of IT cell. Malviya transformed the IT cell into a very powerful and controversial wing of the BJP. The recent CJP protest is considered to be a major reason behind the removal of Amit Malviya after 11 years. In July, Cockroach Janata Party started a fast over the NEET paper leak. A narrative was created against the government on social media. The government appeared to be on the backfoot. PM Modi himself had to come to Instagram and take charge. This was seen as a failure of the BJP IT cell. According to senior journalist Vijay Trivedi, ‘The major reason behind the Gen-G protest and Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation was BJP’s communication gap with the youth. Amit Malviya could not do his work properly. That’s why it was removed. Political analyst Rashid Kidwai believes that if Amit Malviya has been removed due to the protest, then it is like ‘shoot the messenger’. Right now there is a lack of content in BJP. There is trouble among the youth in the country. Papers are leaking. In such an environment, some concrete steps will have to be taken. In place of Amit Malviya, 58 year old Deepak Mhaske has been made the new coordinator of IT cell. Deepak has been the spokesperson of Chhattisgarh BJP. Has done social media strategy and data analysis for the party in the assembly elections of states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal. Nitin Naveen was in-charge of Chhattisgarh Assembly elections in 2023. Then Deepak Mhaske worked with Nitin Naveen. At that time Deepak was looking after the work of IT cell. Deepak has about 15 years of experience working in BJP IT cell. Along with Deepak Mhaske, 4 new social media co-convenors have also been appointed for the first time – Preeti Gandhi from Maharashtra, Shivanand Dwivedi from Delhi, Alok Bhatt from Uttarakhand and Arun Yadav from Haryana. That means BJP is also decentralizing the IT cell. Question-2: What is the meaning of Smriti Irani-Ram Madhav’s entry into the organization? Answer: Among the 65 names in the list, there is a lot of discussion about two people… Ram Madhav, National Vice President Smriti Irani, National General Secretary Question-3: Piyush Goyal’s entry into the organization, will he take away the ministerial post? Answer: Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in the Central Government has been made the National Treasurer in the BJP organization. There has been an informal tradition of ‘one person, one post’ in BJP. That is, usually no leader holds the post of minister in the government while holding a senior post in the party. Even before the formation of Modi government in 2014, Piyush Goyal was the national treasurer of BJP. As soon as the government was formed, he got the responsibility of Coal Ministry and he shifted from the organization to the government. Now after 12 years, he has become the treasurer again. In such a situation, speculations about his departure from the post of minister have intensified. Rashid Kidwai believes that there is no speculation in Modi-Shah’s BJP. There are murmurs of cabinet reshuffle. So anything can happen. Question-4: Why did Dharmendra Pradhan, who had resigned from the post of Education Minister, not get a place in the organization? Answer: After the NEET paper leak, there was discussion that Dharmendra Pradhan’s ministry may change or he may give bigger responsibility in the organization. Meanwhile, Cockroach Janata Party started protesting from Jantar Mantar and after pressure, Pradhan had to resign. Not even a month has passed since the resignation. Getting responsibility in the organization so soon would create a wrong narrative. The resignation was considered a mere show-off. Students could get angry again. Before giving new responsibility to Pradhan, BJP will wait for the previous matter to cool down completely. Apart from this, giving a post to Pradhan in the organization would mean that he would not return to the cabinet. Right now the government wants to keep this route open. He may get some other ministry in the cabinet reshuffle. Pradhan is an MP from Sambalpur and has a good hold in Odisha BJP. Pradhan’s strategy is considered to play the biggest role in forming BJP’s government with absolute majority for the first time in 2024. Therefore he can also be sent back to Odisha politics. Question-5: Can there be a reshuffle in the Modi cabinet after this announcement? Answer: After the formation of the team of new BJP national president Nitin Naveen, now there is talk of expansion of Modi cabinet. There are some indications of cabinet reshuffle coming from the new list… Anurag Thakur: There is no name in the list of the organization. In such a situation, the possibility of going to the cabinet has increased. He is a bright and strong young face of the party. Piyush Goyal: Modi has been in the cabinet for 12 years. Presently he is the Union Commerce Minister and now also the Treasurer of the party. In such a situation, one post may have to be left under BJP’s ‘one person, one post’ policy. Tejasvi Surya: Was the national president of Yuva Morcha, but now has no responsibility in the organization. MP from Bengaluru South since 2019. He is a strong speaker and a young face. In such a situation, a place can be found in the cabinet. Raghav Chadha: There was discussion that any of the 8 Rajya Sabha MPs who joined BJP from AAP may get a place in the cabinet. Sandeep has been made the National General Secretary. In this situation, Raghav’s chances of becoming a minister have increased. Question-6: Is there any big shift visible from the new BJP team? Answer: There are many interesting things in the new team formed 209 days after Nitin Nabin became the national president… ———— Read this news also… Only 18% women in the new team of BJP: 51 new faces among 65 members, Vasundhara is the oldest, 38 years older than the Yuva Morcha president.
