Ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has stepped up efforts to address discontent within the organisation. The party is working on a strategy to placate about 10,000 leaders and old workers who have a strong hold in their areas but have long kept away from organisational activities. The party leadership fears that internal differences could affect election preparations.
In several districts of the state, tensions persist among MPs, MLAs, ministers and local public representatives. In some places, disputes are over taking credit for development work, while elsewhere differences have surfaced among leaders over organisational posts and political dominance. In some areas, a lack of coordination between old and new leaders has also remained a challenge for the party.
At a recent meeting in Lucknow, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had appealed to workers to set aside mutual resentment and disappointment and work unitedly. After this, senior office-bearers, including state president Pankaj Chaudhary and organisation general secretary Dharampal Singh, intensified the outreach campaign.
Under the strategy, a list of about 25 old and influential workers has been prepared from each Assembly constituency. Party office-bearers and representatives of the Sangh will contact them and try to make them active again. The BJP is focusing on increasing coordination in the organisation and uniting workers down to the booth level.
