Sanjay Jha, a trusted lieutenant of Nitish Kumar, continues as working president. The party has also appointed new national secretaries, including Rajiv Ranjan Singh, who will oversee organizational matters. Other appointments include Shyam Rajak as treasurer and K.C. Tyagi as national spokesperson.
Strategic Move for 2025 Elections
