Kanpur, Mar 7: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attended a coordination meeting between the RSS and the BJP here, where leaders reviewed the party’s performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and emphasised organisational unity ahead of the 2027 Assembly polls.
The meeting, held at Pandit Deendayal Sanatan Dharma Vidyalaya in Nawabganj on Friday, brought together senior leaders from the BJP and the RSS and is being seen as part of the party’s early preparations for the next Assembly elections.
According to the leaders present, discussions focused on improving coordination between the government and the organisation, addressing concerns of party workers and gathering feedback from the ground.
Among those present were BJP state president Pankaj Chaudhary, general secretary (organisation) Dharampal Singh, RSS prant pracharak Shriram and functionaries of various RSS-affiliated organisations.
Leaders also reviewed the impact of internal differences during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which affected the BJP’s performance in parts of the Bundelkhand region. Seats such as Banda, Chitrakoot, Hamirpur, Jalaun and Fatehpur were lost, while Farrukhabad was retained with difficulty, they said.
Addressing the gathering, Adityanath said India remained strong despite global uncertainties and highlighted the achievements of the “double-engine government” in Uttar Pradesh over the past nine years, according to a senior office-bearer present at the meeting.
Improvements in law and order, employment, industrial development and women’s safety had helped change the state’s perception nationally and globally, the chief minister said.
Referring to his recent visits to Japan and Singapore, Adityanath said global investors were showing growing interest in Uttar Pradesh.
He also called for closer coordination among the government, the RSS and allied organisations, stressing that programmes and campaigns should complement each other and strengthen outreach.
BJP state president Chaudhary said organisational issues raised by RSS functionaries would be addressed at the party level and emphasised that coordination among like-minded organisations would be crucial ahead of the next elections.
