Lucknow: Giving a new direction to its organizational structure in Uttar Pradesh, Bharatiya Janata Party has appointed Union Minister of State for Finance and seven-time MP Pankaj Chaudhary as the new president of the state unit. With the formal announcement made on Sunday, Pankaj Chaudhary took charge of Uttar Pradesh BJP. Party’s Union Minister and election in-charge Piyush Goyal officially announced his name and nominated him as the state president.

Took over in traditional style

The appointment ceremony of Pankaj Chaudhary was organized in a completely traditional atmosphere. The program started with Swasti Vachan, after which the atmosphere was made festive with shankhnaad and damru playing. Outgoing state president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary handed over the BJP flag and handed over the responsibility to the new president. This moment became symbolic of the change of leadership in the organization, which was watched with enthusiasm by the workers.

National Council members were also selected

With the appointment of the state president, BJP also completed the election of National Council members from Uttar Pradesh. In this process, a total of 120 leaders from the state have been elected members of the National Council. These include Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak and many senior faces like Keshav Prasad Maurya, Smriti Irani, Swatantra Dev Singh, Surya Pratap Shahi and Bhupendra Chaudhary. The members of the National Council play an important role in the selection of the National President of the party, which further increases the importance of this election.

Important role in OBC politics

Pankaj Chaudhary is considered an important face of BJP’s OBC strategy in Uttar Pradesh. Choudhary, who has been MP from Maharajganj Lok Sabha seat seven times, comes from the Kurmi community, which is considered influential in the politics of the state.
