# BJP social media chiefs’ X timelines vanish after appointments 2026-08-17T15:18:08+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Minutes after the BJP announced its new social media team, the X timelines of newly appointed co-convenors Priti Gandhi and Alok Bhatt appeared inaccessible or showed no recent public posts. Gandhi and Bhatt were among four leaders named to assist new social media convenor Deepak Mhaske, who replaced Amit Malviya in a reshuffle under party president Nitin Nabin. There has been no official explanation from the BJP, Gandhi, or Bhatt. Indiatoday.in reports that the change could be a review of past posts, as personal timelines can become a liability once a leader takes an official communications role. Another possibility is a move toward tighter message discipline, reducing the chance of individual posts being treated as party positions. The BJP has not confirmed whether it directed the restriction. The appointments are part of a wider restructuring of the party's digital organisation as Nabin builds his new national team. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
