RLD Party Revamps Urban Organization in Western Uttar Pradesh

In western Uttar Pradesh, meetings are in progress on this strategy. The national president has entrusted the responsibility of urban organisation to state president Anupam Mishra. City presidents have been appointed in Meerut and Noida. Potential names have been sought from office bearers in Banaras, Gorakhpur, and Prayagraj. Local level meetings will be held soon. The party has made it a condition for city presidents to perform rather than remain in office. Their performance will be assessed on the basis of organisational expansion, coordination with district presidents, formation of committees at the city and ward levels, and organisation up to the booth level. The presidents have been given the responsibility not only of appointing office bearers but also of preparing an organisational structure capable of contesting elections. The city body elections are the next big goal of RLD's strategy. The party plans to give a chance to new faces by removing expected non-performing city presidents. The party is also trying to make inroads into urban politics through this exercise.
