The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttar Pradesh is getting ready in election mode after the appointment of the new State president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary and organisation secretary Dharampal with both the leaders doing continuous tours of the State with a special focus on western U.P. where the saffron party’s performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls was not at par with the eastern part. In the past few days Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been focusing on eastern U.P. visiting districts like Mau, Ghazipur, Jaunpur and Varanasi highlighting his government’s commitment against corruption and crime.
“The appointment of the State president and the organising secretary both from western U.P. highlights that the Party is focusing on that part, as we lost at least eight parliamentary seats there in the 2019 polls. We are also focusing on the eastern part as well,” said Hero Vajpayee, U.P. BJP spokesperson.
In the 2019 Parliamentary elections, the saffron party lost crucial seats like Amroha, Sambhal, Saharanpur, Bijnor, Moradabad, Nagina and Rampur in West U.P. Moreover in the 2022 State Assembly polls, the ruling party lost many Assembly seats in districts like Saharanpur, Sambhal, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Moradabad and Rampur. Therefore the appointment and focus of the new party leadership in the west was obvious.
