At a time when Gen Z protests and rising youth movement voices have gained national attention across India, the BJP has made a significant organisational move by appointing Vadodara MP Hemang Joshi as the National President of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha today, replacing Lok Sabha MP Tejasvi Surya. The appointment comes as political parties are actively seeking to bridge the gap with the country’s younger demographic.

Vijay Shah, when he was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation’s School Committee. Joshi’s trajectory within the party hierarchy has seen a swift and structured ascent over the past two years. His steady performance and growth over this period led to his elevation to the national stage as head of the party’s youth wing. Known for his polished communication skills, Joshi is fluent in Gujarati, Hindi, and English, making him equipped to connect with diverse youth audiences nationwide. Beyond his local initiatives, Joshi stepped into the national political spotlight during the Lok Sabha incident involving opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and BJP MP P.C. Sarangi; alongside Bansuri Swaraj and Anurag Thakur, he was one of the key complainants who filed a police report regarding the scuffle.
In a post on social media platform X, Tejasvi Surya said: His entry into civic governance took off in January 2022 under the leadership of then-city president Dr. The party leadership fielded him as its Lok Sabha candidate from Vadodara in April 2024, leading to his successful election. Recognising his potential, the party included him as the sole MP from Gujarat in the delegation sent for Operation Sindoor in May 2025. By November 2025, the BJP entrusted him with the role of in-charge for the Special Investment Region in Gujarat, followed by his appointment as the Gujarat BJP Yuva Morcha President in December 2025.
He is also highly tech-savvy, a trait reflected in his initiative to establish a “Digital MP Office” in Vadodara, which earned widespread recognition.
