Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin will begin his organisational push for the 2027 assembly polls from western Uttar Pradesh with a two-day visit to Meerut and Saharanpur on September 21 and 22 respectively, said party’s Meerut district unit chief Harveer Pal.
The visit will focus on strengthening the party organisation at the grassroots level, reviewing electoral preparedness and engaging with young people.
The youth interaction will be followed by a large organisational meeting at the university ground, where around 4,800 Shakti Kendra convenors and mandal presidents from western UP are expected to participate. The meeting will cover booth-level preparedness, organisational strengthening, public outreach and preparations for the 2027 polls. The meeting will cover the BJP’s organisation across 14 districts and 19 organisational districts comprising 71 assembly constituencies in western UP. On September 22, Nabin is scheduled to visit the Maa Shakumbhari Devi temple before holding two organisational meetings with party functionaries in Saharanpur. The focus on western UP comes against a backdrop of the region’s 71 assembly constituencies and its importance to the BJP’s electoral preparations. The BJP had won 54 of the 71 seats in 2017, while its tally declined to 41 in the 2022 polls.
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath and state BJP president Pankaj Chaudhary are also scheduled to be present during the programmes in Meerut. The upcoming organisational exercise is expected to provide the party leadership with feedback on issues including farmers, sugarcane as well as caste and community equations involving Jats and Gurjars.
