The leadership of BJP has reportedly chosen their preferred candidate for the next president of its Uttar Pradesh state unit, bringing to close a period of prolonged speculation over the vacant post. At a carefully convened meeting in Lucknow, top central and state-level leaders — along with representatives of the ideological parent body — discussed and searched for consensus on the pick before formal announcement.
What the Meeting Covered
-
The decision emerged after a shortlist of nine names was considered, drawn to reflect the party’s sensitivity toward caste and regional representation: three from Brahmin community candidates, three from Other Backward Classes (OBC), and three from Dalit-community aspirants. At the Lucknow meeting, central organisational secretary of BJP and top functionaries of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) met with state leadership including the Chief Minister and deputy CMs, along with the current state BJP leadership.

Beyond the choice of president, the meeting addressed a range of organisational and governance issues — including review of electoral-roll revision under the “Special Intensive Revision (SIR)” drive, plans reportedly proposed for setting up district-level detention centres for “infiltrators/illegal-immigrants,” and finalisation of rituals and publicity around completion of the main temple at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir complex.
Why It’s Happening Now
The unit-level leadership vacancy has been dragging on for several months, following the completion of the previous president’s tenure. The delay reportedly weighed on party organisation, grassroots coordination, and preparations for future elections.
With upcoming electoral engagements and the imperative of strengthening party structure — especially in Uttar Pradesh’s complex social and caste-diverse landscape — leaders felt the need to expedite the appointment.
What’s Next — When the Name Might Be Declared
BJP insiders say the formal announcement of the new state BJP president is likely before the month ends. Once declared, this new state-unit head is expected to play a crucial role in reorganising party machinery, overseeing ground-level mobilisation, and preparing the party for upcoming elections.
At the same time, the appointment could signal a broader organisational push: aligning party structure with ideological guidance, renewing electoral readiness, and strengthening the party’s social-base outreach across Uttar Pradesh.
