Lucknow: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be drawing a blueprint for its upcoming 2022 state assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh from next week when party chief JP Nadda will virtually inaugurate the State Working Committee meeting on Friday.
The meeting comes immediately after the BJP claimed a landslide victory in the three-tiered panchayat elections, two phases of which were marred by violence.
Before the meeting of the State Working Committee, on Thursday, a meeting of the state office bearers of the party will be held at the state headquarters of the party, in which the national office bearers of the party, state in-charge, co-in-charge, state office bearers, presidents of fronts and regional presidents will be present.
The panchayat results have firmed up BJP's presence in the rural interiors and are a major booster for the Assembly polls.
Earlier the meeting of the State Working Committee was proposed on 6th and 7th July but due to the announcement of the date of the block chief election, the working committee was postponed. But now according to the new schedule, this meeting will be held on July 16, after which there will be a district-level working committee and after that, there will be a meeting of the zonal level working committee.
The state executive is being held after the recent rejig in the Narendra Modi cabinet in which seven MPs from the state were included in the union cabinet with an eye on caste and regional balancing.
Party sources said that the state executive will also give the nod for a slew of programmes to mobilise party cadres for the upcoming elections.
