'Partial' organisational rejig on cards for BJP in UP

08 Feb 2023 Evaluate

With an eye on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will soon undergo ‘partial organisational revamp’ to fill up vacant posts in the unit.

State unit president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary said that there will not be a major change but only partial organisational restructuring. He has requested the leadership for partial reorganisation and he got the permission. Chaudhary, who belongs to the Jat community and was made the state unit chief in August last year.

On the BJP joining hands again with the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), Chaudhary said that the BJP will also take along anyone who agrees with its ideology and wants to work with them. SBSP is led by Omprakash Rajbhar, a strong backward leader with influence in eastern UP districts, the SBSP fought the 2017 assembly elections with the BJP but later joined the Samajwadi Party-led alliance. CM Yogi Adityanath had sacked Rajbhar from his Cabinet in May 2019 for his outbursts against senior NDA partner BJP. However, after parting ways with the SP last year, Rajbhar's stand towards the BJP appears to have softened. His party had supported the NDA candidate in the presidential election last year. In a meeting of the BJP State Working Committee held on last month, the party set a target of winning all 80 Lok Sabha seats in UP.
