The BJP’s poor performance in Uttar Pradesh in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections in which the party won 36 seats while the opposition got 43 – has led to turmoil in the state unit.
Changes are expected in both the BJP organization and the state cabinet in Uttar Pradesh — the BJP may get a new state chief as Bhupendra Chaudhary has offered to resign after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president JP Nadda. A cabinet reshuffle is also expected in the state. The only cabinet expansion in Yogi 2.0 happened earlier this year when four ministers were added as RLD, SBSP became part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). More backward faces, faces from areas where the BJP faced defeat in 2024, may also get representation.
Amidst the ongoing tussle between Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, the BJP’s central leadership has asked state leaders to stop making public statements and focus on the upcoming 10 by-elections. The Chief Minister met ministers on Wednesday regarding the 10 upcoming by-elections, but both the Deputy Chief Ministers – Maurya and Brijesh Pathak remained missing from the meeting.

Rumors of rift between the two leaders started in political circles after Maurya skipped several cabinet meetings chaired by Adityanath in the last one month.
The deputy chief minister added fuel to the fire when he told a BJP meeting in Lucknow – where Yogi Adityanath, Pathak and around 3,500 delegates were present – that “no government is bigger than the organisation”. He said, “No one is bigger than the organization. We are proud of our workers.”
The statement reflected how a section of BJP leaders feel that the bureaucracy in Uttar Pradesh is weighing heavily on the BJP organization. This was identified as a reason why BJP workers did not act aggressively in the recent elections in Uttar Pradesh.
NDA ally Sanjay Nishad supported Maurya’s statement, saying that many officers were associated with the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party, which led to the poor performance of the BJP in the state.
To compensate for the loss, Maurya met BJP President JP Nadda on Tuesday. In the second meeting between the leaders in the last 48 hours, the BJP’s strategy in the upcoming by-elections and the party’s poor performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections were discussed. Earlier, the Deputy Chief Minister had met Nadda on July 14, when Nadda chaired the state executive meeting in Lucknow.
Taking aim at the BJP, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said, “In the heat of BJP’s power struggle, governance and administration in UP have been put on the back burner…BJP is sinking into the quagmire of internal conflicts. ” ALSO READ:-https://livendtv.com/delhi-heavy-rain-news-2024-update/
