BJP Makes Major Reshuffle, Replaces Amit Malviya with Deepak Mhaske as Social Media Convenor

On 17 August 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a major reshuffle in its national team. Party president Nitin Nabin announced a new team of 65 members. The most prominent name is the disappearance of Amit Malviya. Malviya, the head of the BJP's IT cell since 2015, has been removed from this post. Malviya has been replaced by Deepak Mhaske of Chhattisgarh as the social media convenor. Amit Malviya has been one of the oldest and most powerful faces of the BJP's digital campaign. Amit Malviya has been in charge of the party's IT cell and social media department for about 11 years. He also served as the party's co-incharge in West Bengal, where the BJP won a historic victory. In the 2026 elections, when the BJP won 207 seats, Malviya was credited with leading the digital narrative. His removal is being considered a major change. The "three people" the user mentioned are probably the four new social-media convenors who have been appointed to the BJP's social media team. Anil Baluni is the first to be the new social media convenor.
