Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader JP Nadda, who was elected as the national president of BJP on Monday, represents two different cultures – Bihari and Himachali. He spent his childhood in Bihar and learned the nuances of politics in his home state Himachal Pradesh.
JP Nadda belongs to Vijaypur village of Bilaspur district and was born on December 2,1960, in Patna.
He started his political career in 1975 as an activist of Bihar Movement (JP Movement). He later joined ABVP and contested student Central Association elections in Patna University and became secretary in 1977.
He earned his Bachelors degree from Patna University and was an active student leader between 1977 and 1979 in Ranchi.
JP Nadda started his first political agitation in 1985 as a student leader from his hometown Bilaspur. He migrated from Ranchi University to Himachal University, Shimla from where he earned his LLB degree.
He was also elected as ABVP president.
JP Nadda contested his first assembly elections in 1993 from Bilaspur Sadar assembly constituency and was leader of opposition in Himachal assembly between 1994 and 1998.
He won another assembly election in 1998 from Bilaspur and became Health minister of Himachal Pradesh. In 2007, he again contested the assembly election and became Forest and Environment minister.
However, Nadda had to resign in 2012 after he was asked to join the central leadership and was elected to the upper house of the Parliament in 2012. He became a Cabinet minister and was made Union Health Minister.
