Nitin Nabin my boss in party matters: PM Modi
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Nitin Nabin on his election as the BJP national president and declared that the young leader will be his boss in matters related to the party.
Addressing a gathering at the party headquarters here, Modi described 45-year-old Nabin as a "millennial" who belongs to a generation that has witnessed a great deal of change in India.
Nabin was declared the BJP national president at the party headquarters at the conclusion of the Sanghatan Parv, which saw elections to various party posts from booth level to the national level.
"When it comes to party matters, Mananiya (honourable) Nitin Nabin ji... I am a worker, and you are my boss," Modi said.
"Now, honourable Nitin Nabin ji is the president of all of us, and his responsibility is not just to manage the BJP, but also to ensure coordination among all NDA allies," the prime minister said.
Modi said Nabin belongs to an era in which, people heard the news on the radio in childhood and are now well-versed in using Artificial Intelligence.
"Nitin ji has both youthful energy and a great deal of experience," the prime minister said.
The prime minister said under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani and Murali Manohar Joshi, the BJP saw a journey from zero to the summit.
"In this century, leaders like M Venkaiah Naidu and Nitin Gadkari, along with many of our senior colleagues, expanded the organisation. Under the leadership of Rajnath ji, for the first time, the BJP achieved a full majority on its own," Modi said.
"Then, under the leadership of Amit Shah, the BJP formed governments in many states and came to power at the Centre for a second consecutive term. Under the leadership of J P Nadda, the BJP grew stronger from the panchayat to Parliament," Modi said.

APSRTC records highest single-day revenue of Rs 28 crore
Amaravati (PTI): APSRTC on Tuesday said it achieved its highest-ever single-day revenue of Rs 28 crore on January 19.
The record performance came amid the post-Sankranti return rush, as special bus services operated at regular fares and passenger traffic surged across the state, it said in a press release.
"Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation recorded an all-time high revenue of Rs 27.68 crore on January 19, marking a milestone never witnessed before in the corporation’s history. On the same day, over 5.6 million passengers travelled by state-run buses," the release said.
The milestone was attributed to a coordinated effort by staff at all levels and the trust shown by passengers, it added.
Advance deployment of buses, adequate infrastructure, continuous monitoring, and dynamic allocation of services based on passenger demand were cited as key factors behind the record revenue.
APSRTC said operating special services at regular fares allowed passengers to save on travel costs and encouraged the use of public transport over private vehicles.
