Amid speculations about the announcement of the new president of the Uttar Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the current president Bhupendra Singh Choudhary has held important meetings in Delhi. After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he went to meet Home Minister Amit Shah. On Thursday, 11 December, Choudhary went to meet the Prime Minister at his chamber in Parliament.

Let us tell you that this is probably the fifth meeting of Bhupendra Chaudhary after the Lok Sabha election results of 2024. Apart from Bhupendra Chaudhary, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has also met PM Modi 4-5 times after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

It is believed that the new president of UP BJP can be announced this week. Many names are running in this race. It is claimed that BJP can again express confidence only in Bhupendra.

Apart from Bhupendra Singh Choudhary, UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya is also in Delhi amid the discussion about the new president. If sources are to be believed, he may also hold some important meetings. Efforts have been going on for the last one year for the new president of BJP in UP. However, the decision has not been taken yet.

Election responsibility handed over to Piyush Goyal

The responsibility of electing the BJP President in UP has been handed over to Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. After Goyal comes to the capital Lucknow, nomination will be done and then the new state president will be announced. According to sources, the announcement is likely to be made before December 14.

Before the final answer to the question of who will be the state president, some names are also in the race. This includes minister Swatantra Dev Singh in Yogi government, cabinet minister Dharampal Singh in UP government, Union minister BL Verma, Vidyasagar Sonkar, former MP and Assam in-charge Harish Dwivedi, Govind Narayan Shukla, Rajya Sabha Dinesh Sharma, former MP Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti.

The Bharatiya Janata Party is going to start internal survey soon for the selection of candidates in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections 2027. On which the statement of UP BJP state president Bhupendra Chaudhary has come out. He told that on what basis the BJP will choose its candidates.

Talking to reporters in the capital Lucknow, BJP state president Bhupendra Chaudhary said that there is no such discussion about the candidates. We are constantly in touch with the public through the workers. The process is fixed for the selection of candidates in our party. On the basis of which decisions are taken.

Which candidates will give ticket to BJP

Bhupendra Chaudhary said- “We have some organizational work, we are also working on those organizational subjects. There is nothing like this right now. We constantly keep in touch and communication with the public through our workers. There is a process in our party of ticket selection and candidate selection. We send a panel to the central leadership after interacting with our workers and the central election committee takes the final decision on it.

UP assembly elections are to be held in 2027 but before that all political parties have started their preparations. For the third time in UP, the Bharatiya Janata Party has already started making strategies.

Internal survey for selection of candidates

It is believed that BJP’s focus is on the selection of candidates. This time only those candidates will get tickets who will be active in their area and whose place will also be in the hearts of the people. For this, an internal survey will be conducted by the party, in which the image of the leaders among their work and the public will be evaluated.

If sources are to be believed, the BJP is taking the cooperation of a professional agency for this, while secretly, the image of the MLAs, development work and ethnic equations is being assessed. Along with this, how much the opposition has on that seat is also being assessed.

In Uttar Pradesh, there is a continuous speculation about the new BJP state president. But, it is no longer announced, now it is discussed that Uttar Pradesh will get a new leadership only after the election of BJP’s national president. One reason for this is that the ‘quorum’ of selection of presidents of more than half the states for the election of the national president has been completed. The election of the state president has been completed in 28 states of the country. On the other hand, political analysts claim that keeping in mind the new strategy of Samajwadi Party’s PDA Pathshala, the BJP has now started churning again.

When will BJP be decided on state president?

A senior BJP official said on the condition of anonymity, “The President of Uttar Pradesh will be elected only after the election of the national president.” He also said that “the leaders involved in the race of the state president have been told in Delhi that go to Uttar Pradesh and work, work will be known.

It is difficult to claim who will be the state president of UP right now, because the party decides not just keeping the immediate situations in mind, but on the basis of far -reaching equations.

BJP has a total of 98 organizational district units in 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. In the second fortnight of March, former Union Minister Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey, the organizational election in -charge of BJP Uttar Pradesh, announced the district heads in 70 out of 98 units, after which the speculation intensified that the state president would be announced soon.

The process of election of the state president is completed only after elections in more than half of the districts in BJP. However, even after four months, the party has not reached any conclusion yet. The list of BJP state council members has not been released yet.

Many leaders in BJP involved in state president’s race

A BJP official said that the members of the State Council are voters for the election of the state president in the party and they also do the work of the proponent and supporter, so their selection is necessary to complete the election process.

The names of many contenders for the post of president in Uttar Pradesh are in discussion. Since the assembly elections in 2027 and panchayat elections are due in 2026, the party is focusing on ethnic and regional equations for the selection of the Speaker. At the same time, BJP is also eyeing the strategy of the main opposition party Samajwadi Party.

Sources associated with BJP say that the Samajwadi Party has intensified its PDA (Backward, Dalit and Minority) campaign and now the SP is also organizing PDA Pathshala, so a section of political analysts feel that BJP can give priority to backward classes in the selection of its president.

The names of these backward and Dalit class leaders are also discussed

Sources close to the party say that BJP can once again turn to backward classes for its new state president. Since 2016, the post has been the leader of both Brahmins and OBC communities: Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey (Brahmin), while Swatantra Dev Singh and current president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary are from the OBC community.

At some time, the pair of Kalyan Singh (Lodh caste) and Brahmin leader Kalraj Mishra, who came from the Other Backward Classes (OBC), had strengthened the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, but in later days the Lodh caste never got a chance to leadership.

Political experts claim that this time the BJP is the strongest claim of Lodh Samaj for the leadership of Uttar Pradesh. For this, the names of State Government Minister Dharampal Singh and Union Minister BL Verma are also coming out. If someone is selected among these two leaders, then the consent of the family members of the late Kalyan Singh will also be necessary for him.

On the other hand, Vinay Katiyar, Om Prakash Singh and Swatantra Dev Singh have led the state unit of BJP in Uttar Pradesh from Kurmi caste coming in the backward classes and the name of Swatantra Dev Singh for this post is still in discussion. Apart from these, the name of Rajya Sabha member Babu Lal Nishad and former Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti from Nishad society is also in discussion.

These leaders from Brahmin society join the race

If the BJP selects the state president from the Brahmin society, then many names including former Deputy Chief Minister and Rajya Sabha member Dr. Dinesh Sharma, BJP State General Secretary and MLC Govind Narayan Shukla, Gautam Budh Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma and former MP Harish Dwivedi are in the list of claimants.

Due to the constant weakened mass base of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the BJP is eyeing the Sonkar caste, especially from Purvanchal to West, on the Dalits. This is the reason that the name of former party MP Vidyasagar Sonkar for BJP state president is also under discussion. Many other leaders of non -Jatav castes of Dalit society are also involved in the race for the post of president.

When asked about the election of BJP state president, when asked by the senior state spokesperson of the party Harishchandra Srivastava, he said that ‘BJP’s organizational election is held after the booth, mandal and district after the state president is elected, in which members of the state council participate.’

Srivastava said, ‘Elections of more than half of the districts required for the election of the state president have been completed. The election officials nominated by the central leadership will declare the program, according to which the election of the state president will be concluded.
