UP BJP State President election has increased the political turmoil. The candidature of Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary, the old political rivalry with Yogi Adityanath and the Gorakhpur factor have made this election very important. There will be a big announcement soon.
Election of state president in Bharatiya Janata Party is generally considered an organizational process, but this time the picture is somewhat different. Political activity is intense from Lucknow to Delhi and the reason is Gorakhpur connection. The nomination process has started and the name of the new state president will be announced after voting on Sunday. Meanwhile, the entry of Union Minister of State and seven-time MP Pankaj Chaudhary has increased the political temperature.
Why did the Gorakhpur factor increase the uneasiness?
The uneasiness regarding this election is even more because Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Pankaj Chaudhary both have their political origins from Gorakhpur. Pankaj Chaudhary started politics from Gorakhpur, later he continued winning from Maharajganj Lok Sabha seat. He also became recognized as Deputy Mayor. During this period, his political competition with Yogi Adityanath was being discussed both at the organizational and ground level.
Today, Yogi Adityanath is one of the biggest faces of UP BJP, along with being the Chief Minister, he has a strong hold among the public. In such a situation, it is believed that the party leadership can promote Pankaj Chaudhary to balance the power between the organization and the government.

Why is Pankaj Chaudhary considered the strongest?
The names of many veterans are in discussion in the race for state president, Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and Pankaj Chaudhary. However, within the party it is almost certain that the president will be from the OBC category. In such a situation, all the claimants come from this category. But Pankaj Chaudhary’s name is being said to be at the top on all three parameters – caste balance, organizational experience and coordination between government and organization. Coming from the Kurmi community, his central experience and association with the organization makes him a strong contender. If he gets the responsibility, Gorakhpur can once again become the center of UP BJP politics.
Enrollment timing and strategy
Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary has reached Lucknow from Delhi. Party’s national general secretary and UP election observer Vinod Tawde is also present with him. Both the leaders rested for a while after reaching the VVIP Guest House directly from the airport. According to party sources, nominations can be filed at the BJP state office in Lucknow after around 3 pm. Inside news is also that Pankaj Chaudhary has received indications from Organization Minister BL Santosh to take over the responsibility of state president.
Political card will open on Sunday
The picture will be completely clear after nomination on Saturday and voting on Sunday. The question is not only who will be the next president of UP BJP, but also in which direction the leadership of the organization will go, and how big a role the politics of Gorakhpur is going to play. Now all eyes are on Sunday’s decision.
