Uttar Pradesh BJP in-charge Radha Mohan Singh, co-incharges Sunil Oza, Y Satya Kumar and Sanjeev Chaurasiya are also members of the election committee as special invitees. Other senior leaders of state and members of state cabinet are also part of the committee.
The much-anticipated election for the 403-member Uttar Pradesh Assembly is important for both the incumbent BJP and the opposition as it would also serve as a precedent for the 2021 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP has organised 'Jan Vishwas Yatras' to reach out to the public that covers all the 403 Assembly constituencies. The saffron party has also planned a community outreach programme to pacify Brahmins and youth conferences in all districts to reach out to the youth. Several programmes have also been planned to strengthen its booth management.
