 Summary of this article
- The BJP has begun early preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, combining governance focus with organisational restructuring.

- A major national-level reshuffle is expected, with sweeping changes likely across key organisational posts ahead of the polls.
Following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s victory in West Bengal, the party has moved to begin preparations for the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab in 2027. Alongside this, a major organisational reshuffle is also expected, with sources indicating that the National Executive could see significant changes in less than a month.
Under newly appointed UP state president Pankaj Choudhary, a key meeting of BJP leaders is likely to be held shortly after Tuesday, once the swearing-in ceremony of the Assam Government concludes. Booth and district level meetings will be scheduled to ensure smooth functioning ahead of elections. Chaudhary has begun overtures to Muslim religious leaders too.
The BJP has reportedly decided to focus on finding why it couldn't win in 61 assembly seats in the last three assembly elections of 2012, 2017 and 2022. |
