The loss of BJP in Uttar Pradesh was a big blow to the ruling party, now they're trying to find ways to regain the trust of voters in the state.
The BJP, which was claiming to win 80 of the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh, could not win even 40. The crushing defeat led to massive introspection meetings within the party and there have been talks of organisational rejig. The matter gained limelight after two senior BJP leaders met party president JP Nadda in the last two days. While Deputy CM Maurya met JP Nadda twice within 48 hours, state BJP president Bhupendra Chaudhary met Prime Minister Narendra Modi today and took the responsibility of the party's poll loss. Chaudhary reportedly offered to quit the state BJP chief post.
Soon after, Union Home Minister Amit Shah met PM Modi. Soon after Maurya's meeting with Nadda, the speculation of Yogi Adityanath's removal became rife in the political circle. Even, opposition leaders said that the fight for power has become common in the BJP. "In the heat of BJP's fight for power, governance and administration in UP has been put on the back burner.
While Yogi Adityanath's removal is merely speculation as of now, the BJP has no plan of changing the CM but the organisation's rejig is definitely on the cards. It is understood that the BJP is eager to appoint an OBC leader as its state chief to recover from recent electoral losses and gear up for the 2027 state elections.
The current state chief, Chaudhary, a Jat leader from Moradabad, was appointed in 2022 to address the dissatisfaction within the Jat community towards the BJP.
However, given the Dalit vote bank going against the BJP this election, the saffron party is working to not only strengthen its cadre but also to weed out the problems shared by the workers.
