This time in the 2027 elections in Uttar Pradesh, the focus of Bharatiya Janata Party has remained on the land of Braj. After Ayodhya and Kashi, BJP has now started trying to make Mathura an arena of politics. Where through the fight for Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, she is once again trying to strengthen her political ground on the issues of religion and nationalism.
How important has Mathura become for BJP now? A glimpse of this can also be seen in the formation of the new team of UP BJP, in which the party has given special importance to Braj land as compared to other areas of the state. Leaders of Braj region have been given special representation in the new executive of the party. So that by giving them importance in the party’s organization, the election preparations can be sharpened.
Braj land gets importance in BJP’s new team
In the new executive, BJP has made two leaders from Braj, Ram Pratap Singh and Rajesh Chaudhary as state general secretaries, while Brij Bahadur, Rajesh Yadav, Durgvijay Shakya and Alok Gupta have been made vice presidents. Apart from this, a total of nine people from Braj including Vijay Shivhare, Suhasini Jaiswal and Yatendra Sharma have been made ministers and given important posts in the organization.
BJP’s eye on OBC voters
BJP has also given a significant place to the OBC category in its new executive. BJP has called a state executive meeting in Mathura on July 12 so that OBC voters can be wooed. OBC Morcha’s outgoing president and minister Narendra Kashyap said that we will start with the cow dynasty and cow worship program by performing yagya and havan from Mathura. It is clear that BJP will solve caste equations on the basis of religion.
When CM Yogi surrounded Kejriwal on reaching Ayodhya, AAP convenor said – ‘Maharaj ji, your chair…’
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been keeping Mathura at the political center since the 2022 elections. So that it can be made a new center of Hindu consciousness. In the last assembly elections also, CM Yogi had started the election campaign from this land. Not only this, Braj has been given maximum importance in the cabinet of CM Yogi.
12 ministers have been made from here in the Yogi cabinet, which includes Finance Minister Suresh Khanna along with Babyrani Maurya, Dharampal Singh, Jaiveer Singh, Sandeep Singh, JPS Rathore, Lakshminarayan Choudhary, Yogendra Upadhyay, Dharamveer Prajapati, Arun Saxena, four independent ministers of state and two ministers of state.
