UP BJP President Pankaj Chaudhary Urged to Focus on Larger Mandate in 2027 Assembly Polls

Congratulating Pankaj Chaudhary on his appointment as the new UP BJP president, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday said that under his leadership, the BJP cadres would have to take a pledge to strive for a larger mandate in the 2027 Assembly polls, even bigger than the party’s 312 out of 403 seats in 2017. With Chaudhary, a Kurmi leader at the top party post in UP, Maurya, also an OBC leader, urged party workers to punch holes in “the fake PDA call” of the Samajwadi Party. The SP has been pitching for PDA – Picchda, Dalit, and Alpsankhyak (OBCs, Dalits, and minorities).Assuring full support to Chaudhary, Maurya said that while the balloon of the SP-Congress alliance lost its air in the recent elections, but added that before winning in UP, the party has to emerge victorious in the Assembly elections in West Bengal due early next year.
