J P Nadda

Hours after BJP MP Varun Gandhi condemned the incident in Lakhimpur Kheri, in which a Union Minister’s convoy ran over and killed four protesting farmers, his name was left out of the party’s new national executive committee. His mother, Maneka Gandhi, too, was excluded from the list of names announced by BJP President JP Nadda on October 7. It includes PM Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh, and Amit Shah.

BJP President J P Nadda on January 30 formally announced his party's alliance with AIADMK to contest upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. While Nadda confirmed the news during his rally at Madurai, the announcement became the first instance of the BJP allying with the AIADMK for the state polls. Earlier, both the parties have contested 2019 general elections together, which turned into a setback for the AIADMK.

BJP workers have been injured after clash broke-out on December 10 in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district. Reportedly, the skirmish had occurred just ahead of the BJP President J P Nadda's visit to the location. BJP town president Surajit Haldar has claimed that about 100 culprits, who were alleged to be TMC workers, have attacked them with firearms while they were working. However, TMC has denied the allegations.
