BJP opted for a "blend of experience and energy" as it announced the new list of office-bearers. One of the big developments was the return of former Union minister Smriti Irani to a core organisational role as one of the national general secretaries, while Ram Madhav, a prominent RSS ideologue, has been named a vice president.

The appointment of 13 national vice presidents was announced, including Vasundhara Raje Scindia, Tirath Singh Rawat and Baijayant Jay Panda.

Indicating a push for more representation of women in the party's core roles, six of the 13 national vice presidents are now women. There are also four women secretaries and a woman general secretary, as well as two from the Muslim community.

While 40 per cent of the office-bearers belong to the marginalised communities, the party has also sought to provide representation to leaders of all major regions of the nation. Academics and a doctor have also been included in the list.
