Bharatiya Janata Party Plans Rejig in UP ahead of By-polls

Lucknow: After the Cabinet reshuffle, the Bharatiya Janata Party is preparing for a revamp of its organizational machinery in Uttar Pradesh.

The party is selecting new foot soldiers in the 13 Assembly segments, where by-elections are due. The exercise will be carried out in all Assembly segments in order to refurbish the party organization for the 2022 Assembly elections.

According to party sources, about 40 to 45 per cent of the district units would be disbanded and reorganised and new district presidents and other functionaries would be elected.

The organisational reshuffle, which normally takes place every three years, is already past the deadline. The move comes close on heels of the just concluded BJP membership drive during which it inducted 50 lakh new members.

UP Bharatiya Janata Party General Secretary Vijay Bahadur Pathak said: "The BJP is run democratically and new functionaries are elected every three years. An organizational reshuffle was due in 2018, but was delayed as the party was gearing up for the Lok Sabha elections." (IANS)
