Bhopal/New Delhi: 18 Aug 2026
The announcement of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) new Central Executive Committee under newly appointed national president Nitin Nabin is expected to bring a significant elevation for Madhya Pradesh BJP’s media in-charge Ashish Agarwal. Agarwal is likely to take on a new responsibility in the BJP’s central organisation at the party’s headquarters on Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg in New Delhi.
For nearly three years, Agarwal has been regarded as a key figure in managing the Madhya Pradesh BJP’s media operations. His tenure has spanned the political and organisational phases from the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government to the Dr. Mohan Yadav government, as well as the presidencies of V.D. Sharma and Hemant Khandelwal.
His consistent performance in managing the party’s media strategy and communicating the BJP’s political position is being seen as a major factor behind his expected elevation to the central organisation.
Agarwal, who hails from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, is expected to take charge as Co-Convenor in the BJP’s central Media Department in New Delhi. His move to the national organisation could also benefit the Madhya Pradesh BJP’s media team, while giving the state unit a stronger voice and greater representation within the party’s central media structure.
Known for his accessible and straightforward style of functioning, Agarwal is believed to have built a strong network within the BJP organisation. His supporters believe that his elevation to the national level will provide him with a larger platform to expand his organisational role and demonstrate his capabilities beyond Madhya Pradesh.
Delhi already has several prominent BJP leaders from Madhya Pradesh who hold influential organisational and political positions. Agarwal’s new assignment could therefore open up a wider political and organisational space for him at the national level.
For a leader who has worked extensively in Gwalior and Bhopal, the move to Delhi marks a significant new chapter. The distance from Gwalior to Bhopal may be considerable, but for Agarwal, Delhi now represents not just another destination—it could be the beginning of a much bigger political and organisational journey.
