The BJP is now focusing on making the organizational structure stronger. The fraction in Uttar Pradesh is a serious issue for the high command and the party is trying to make certain strategic moves to pacify the situation After recent changes in Rajasthan and other states, the party is now concentrating on appointing a national executive president and addressing the turmoil in Uttar Pradesh. There are indications of organizational shifts in the state. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak, who have been critical of Yogi, have all travelled to Delhi. The two Deputy Chief Ministers have been notably absent from meetings with Yogi, escalating opposition criticism and causing concern within the party’s high command.

Meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National President JP Nadda, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are anticipated to address the situation in Uttar Pradesh.
Yogi Adityanath will attend the NITI Aayog meeting on Saturday but will first meet with Prime Minister Modi and National President JP Nadda to present his report.
On Thursday night, changes were made in some states including Rajasthan. In Rajasthan, Madan Rathore was appointed as the new state president in place of CP Joshi and Radha Mohan Das Agarwal was appointed in-charge in place of Arun Singh and Vijaya Rahatkar was appointed co-in-charge.

Similarly, Dilip Jaiswal was made the president of Bihar. The responsibility of Assam has been given to Harish Dwivedi, Chandigarh to Atul Garg, Lakshadweep and Tamil Nadu to Arvind Menon and Tripura to Rajdeep Rai.

After these appointments, now everyone’s eyes are on the changes to be made in the organization of Uttar Pradesh along with the national president. On July 5 also in-charge of many states were changed. But UP and Rajasthan were not touched.

Sources indicate that a series of meetings is underway within the party. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National President JP Nadda, and Organization General Secretary BL Santosh have already met.

Additionally, there have been discussions with the general secretaries. These meetings have focused on the appointment of a working president and the outcomes of the Lok Sabha elections in various states. It is anticipated that the working president will be appointed soon, with the decision on the full-time president to follow later.
