Ahead of the 2027 election for the Thakurdwara Assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad district, discussion has intensified within the BJP over claims for the party ticket. Former district president Rajpal Singh Chauhan, who is being seen as a ticket aspirant, and his son Amit Chauhan have gifted one bike each to four mandal presidents of the party. Amit Chauhan also announced that if he or his father becomes an MLA, each of the four mandal presidents would also be given a Scorpio within a week.
Key role in ticket recommendations
Questions are being raised within the party over the development. In the BJP organisation, mandal presidents are asked for their views on potential candidates. In this context, expensive gifts from ticket aspirants are being seen as politically significant. There is discussion that the four mandal presidents of the Thakurdwara seat may convey their views to the organisation for candidate selection.
Gift described as respect for workers
Rajpal Chauhan said mandal presidents are an important link in the organisation and work continuously in the area. He said the purpose of giving them bikes was to increase their efficiency and make their work easier. On the other hand, BJP district president Akash Pal said giving gifts on Diwali is a personal matter. He said he has told the mandal presidents that the gift should not affect party work or their opinions.
The development has sparked a fresh debate over the BJP’s local politics and the ticket selection process ahead of the 2027 Assembly election.
