JP Natta has ordered to prepare plans for 100 days immediately after assuming charge as Union Minister.
JP Natta, who was the national president of the BJP, was sworn in as the Union Minister last Sunday.
He has been assigned the Central Health Department. Following this, he formally took charge as a minister yesterday.
As he has taken oath as Union Minister, the post of BJP National President will soon be given to someone else. Natta’s tenure ended in January 2023.
But his tenure was extended as the country was about to face the Lok Sabha elections.
So far, those who have held the post of National President of BJP will be immediately released from the party post once they are promoted as Union Ministers.
That’s how Rajnath Singh was released in 2014. Amit Shah, who took office after that, was released after 2019.
Similarly, Natta will be replaced. There was talk that Shivraj Singh Chauhan might be given the BJP national post after him. Party sources said that if not, it could be given to either Dharmendra Pradhan or Bhupendra Yadav.
But now these three people have been given the post of Union Minister. If so, the question arises as to who will be appointed as the leader.
In this case, it has been revealed that Natta has given orders to the officials to make plans for the next 100 days after taking office.
Union Minister Natta met and discussed with the high level officials of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare after assuming charge. He has directed to prepare a list of Modi 3.0 government programs for the first 100 days.
The official, who did not wish to be named, said, “Important projects currently being undertaken by the ministry were also discussed.”
In particular, Natta discussed the expansion of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, according to people in the know.
