News India Live, Digital Desk: These days the cold is increasing in the politics of Uttar Pradesh, but the political temperature is quite high. Only one question is echoing in the corridors of Lucknow, “Who will be the next state president of BJP?” A series of meetings are going on to find the answer to this question, and recently one such important meeting took place which has fueled the speculation.
It is reported that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has held an important meeting with top officials of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Let us understand in simple language what is the meaning of this meeting and what direction the politics of UP is going to take.
Why is the meeting of Yogi and Sangh special?
We all know that any major decision in BJP is considered incomplete without the opinion of the Sangh (RSS). Especially when it comes to a big state like UP, from where the path to Delhi’s throne passes. The tenure of the current state president Bhupendra Chaudhary has been completed and it is discussed that in view of the results of the Lok Sabha elections, the party is now in a mood to change the organization.
In such an environment, CM Yogi meeting the Sangh officials clearly indicates that “Talaash” is now in its final stages. This meeting is being considered as an effort to establish coordination. Meaning, the preferences of both the government and the organization will be taken into account.
What might have been discussed inside?
Although what was discussed inside the room is not known, political pundits believe that there would have been maximum friction on two issues:
- Caste Equations: BJP wants to create a balance between backward classes (OBC), Dalits and upper castes. Since CM Yogi himself comes from the Kshatriya community, it is believed that the chair of the state president can be given to an OBC (like Maurya, Patel or Nishad community) or a Brahmin face.
- Mission 2027: Winning the next assembly elections is a big question for the party. Therefore, there is a preparation to hand over the command to a leader who can inspire enthusiasm among the workers and who has a strong hold on the ground.
Whose name is in the race?
There are many names floating around. The market of discussions is hot. Sometimes the name of a minister is raised and sometimes that of an MP. But BJP often surprises everyone with its decisions. It is possible that a face may emerge that the media has not even thought about. But one thing is certain, whoever becomes the new president, he will definitely have the seal of approval of CM Yogi.
What do the workers expect?
The common BJP worker just wants that whoever comes as ‘captain’ should listen to them. For some time, there were hushed discussions about ‘government versus organization’. This meeting is probably an attempt to fill that gap.
