The political script for the election of the new national president of BJP has been written, which can be announced at any time. In 22 states including Maharashtra, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttarakhand, BJP has announced its state presidents, but no decision has been taken yet about the president of Uttar Pradesh, the most important state of the country. The term of UP BJP President Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary is over and now he is looking for a new face.
Who will get the command of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, it will be known about the future of the party. The reason for the delay about the UP president is not to be agreed to the name of any one leader. The reason behind this is social and regional equation practice. The BJP is looking for a leader in the state so that the SP’s PDA formula can be cut, then the second concern is to take advantage of the resentment of the Brahmin society after the Etawah incident. The BJP is trapped in a furore between Brahmin and OBC.
BJP’s political confusion stuck in UP?
The election of the state president in Uttar Pradesh is becoming very difficult for the BJP, because the party has to take care of many political equations. Assembly elections of 2027 are to be held in Uttar Pradesh and the party has to choose the president keeping in mind the better coordination between the government and the organization. The political strategy of BJP was to give a chance to OBC or Dalit face as state president in Uttar Pradesh, but after the Etawah episode, the discussion about the Brahmin face has also intensified.
Yogi Adityanath sits on the power of Uttar Pradesh, who comes from Thakur caste. If the power is in the upper caste, then the responsibility of the organization is to hand over to the OBC or Dalit. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the vote banks of both Dalit and OBC are split, in such a situation, the BJP is not able to decide which class should be played in the current political circumstances. Apart from this, BJP wants to keep its core vote bank upper caste society also, if the power is in the hands of Thakur Samaj, then the Brahmin of the organization should be given to the Brahmin face. In this disgrace, BJP has not been able to find its new president yet.
SP’s counter plan of SP’s PDA formula
The BJP is trying to assess political profit and loss in UP in UP. In UP, the last three states have been being formed from the OBC community. After 2014, Keshav Prasad Maurya and then Swatantra Dev Singh and after 2022, Bhupendra Chaudhary was handed over the reins of the state organization. All three BJP leaders come from OBC society. Due to this, it was believed that a upper caste society should be handed over reins, but due to Yogi Adityanath being the CM, both power and organization can increase the risk of OBC being angry by giving them to the upper caste society.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the way SP sets the equation of PDA i.e. Backward, Dalit, Minority
The BJP got out of food. BJP’s seats in UP decreased from 62 to 33. In such a situation, the BJP wants to prepare a counter plan for the SP’s PDA politics on the pretext of its state president. The BJP wants to find the cut of the SP’s PDA before the 2027 elections, for which an OBC or Dalit is churning to make the state president.
Who will get command in OBC and Dalit
BJP from the OBC community has made the state president of Maurya, Kurmi and Jat Samaj. The name of Union Minister BL Verma coming from Lodhi community and Animal Husbandry Minister Dharampal Singh in UP is discussed in the political corridors. Minister Swatantra Dev Singh from Kurma community, Rajya Sabha MP Baburam Nishad and Ashok Kataria of Gurjar Samaj coming from Mallah Samaj are also being discussed. Similarly, the names of former Scheduled Caste MP Ram Shankar Katheria and Vidyasagar Sonkar are also being taken.
It is a coincidence in the politics of UP that the BJP has been choosing the state president from OBC society just before the elections in recent years. Prior to 2017, Keshav Maurya was given the party command to Swatantra Dev Singh before 2022 and then Bhupendra Chaudhary. In such a situation, the party wants to pursue an OBC leader who can win the party in the election. Together, non-Yadav OBC could also unite the votes. Political experts say that the post of BJP state president is not just to fill but political equations are to be done through it.
What will be given command to Brahmin face
After the Etawah incident, the Brahmin politics is at the center of discussion. The political agenda of Brahmin vs Yadav has been completely set. The BJP is in order to take advantage of the resentment of the Brahmin community from the SP. Due to this, there are also speculations of Brahmin face for BJP state president. Recently, the SP had been having a political bet on the pretext of Thakur vs Brahmin Nare and his attempt was to help the Brahmins.
The Etawah incident has removed the Brahmin society coming close to the SP and now the BJP is trying to embrace it, but due to this the strategy of countering the PDA politics has failed. That is why the BJP is spending time in the selection of the state president. On this excuse, the state is engaged in assessing the political profit and loss of the state, because both power and organization may fail the social engineering of the BJP due to being in the hands of the upper caste society.
BJP’s politics will be decided by the state president
In which direction the BJP will move in Uttar Pradesh, it will be decided by the election of the state president. The BJP is not only making the state president, but also to fix its political equation before the 2027 elections, which has gone wrong with 2024 elections. The state president will be a big step, so that the caste equations of the state can be changed. Also, BJP wants to bring its talk to the people again. It plays an important role in ethnic board in Uttar Pradesh elections.
Political analysts of UP believe that SP’s PDA Formula has managed to break the BJP’s dominance. Akhilesh formed a caste coalition from bottom to top from this stake which people liked. To counter this SP of SP, the BJP is making a strategy to convey a message through the next president. The BJP wants to land a strong social engineering before the 2027 elections.
When will BJP get new state president
When the BJP will get the new state president in UP, everyone is eyeing it. After becoming 22 state presidents, there is no political hurdle in the election of BJP’s new national president. 37 state units of the country have been maintained by the BJP across the country, out of which 22 have been elected. In this way the quorum is complete and the national president can be elected anytime. That is why the UP can also take time to choose the president. The BJP can take the decision of the state president in UP after the election of its new national president.
The BJP is currently emphasized on choosing the national president before the monsoon session. Even if the BJP wants to choose the president in UP, even then the first voter list will have to be declared. Then the date of nomination will be fixed and will have to be given time to withdraw it. In the end, the name will be announced if there is only one candidate, but this process will also take at least four days.
According to the rules of the internal election of the BJP organization, one member from every assembly votes. In this way there are 403 assemblies, then a large number of members were made. Apart from this, 20 percent of MPs and MLAs also participate in voting. The district president is present in the election, but he has no right to vote. In this way, the name of so many people will have to be put in the voter list and voting will be a long process.
