Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks during an organisational meeting chaired by BJP national president Nitin Nabin at the BJP headquarters, in New Delhi. (File/ANI) 5 min readNew DlhiAug 28, 2026 07:15 AM IST First published on: Aug 27, 2026 at 05:40 AM IST As the BJP’s new national office-bearers gathered at the party’s national headquarters in Delhi last week for a closed-door meeting, the mood in the room was far from triumphant. The leaders met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Nitin Nabin to discuss the new plan of action. Modi struck a mild but firm note, advising the office-bearers not to grow complacent on the back of repeated electoral wins in the last couple of years, sources said. Nabin, they added, cautioned that power had created a distance between the party’s leaders and people.
