Party workers must work hard to retain power in 2027: UP BJP President

Uttar Pradesh BJP President and Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary on Monday said that to realise the goal of a developed India by 2047, all party workers must move forward with the resolve to retain the BJP government in the state in the 2027 Assembly elections.

On his arrival in Gorakhpur, the newly elected BJP state president was accorded a grand welcome by party office-bearers and a large number of workers. Overwhelmed by the reception, Chaudhary said party workers were paramount to him.

Addressing a welcome and felicitation ceremony and a meeting of the Gorakhpur region, Chaudhary said he had no words to express his gratitude for the love, affection and warm welcome extended by the workers. He said he felt proud and emotional to be among them.

Recalling his political journey, the BJP state president said the party had made him a councillor in 1989 and Deputy Mayor in 1990, and had fielded him as a Lok Sabha candidate nine times. He added that the party had entrusted him with the responsibility of serving as Union Minister of State for Finance for a second term and has now given him the significant responsibility of leading the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.

Chaudhary said party workers are the strength of the BJP and the organisation is its identity. “It is our responsibility to further strengthen the organisation at the booth level,” he said.

“To realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India, we must ensure a bigger victory for the BJP in the 2027 Assembly elections than in 2017. A strong and prosperous Uttar Pradesh is essential to fulfil the vision of a developed India, and this is possible only under a BJP government,” he said.

The state BJP president said Gorakhpur holds immense religious and political significance. “From this land, Yogi Adityanath has served as Chief Minister for two terms. He has transformed a backward state into a developed one, giving Uttar Pradesh a new identity in the country. Gorakhpur is also home to important religious institutions such as the Guru Gorakhnath Temple and Gita Press,” he said.

Chaudhary added that there was a time when India’s voice was ignored globally, but today, under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, the world listens to India seriously. He said the Modi government is working to realise Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s vision of Antyodaya, or the upliftment of the poorest of the poor.

Interacting with party workers, Chaudhary said a true worker is one who completes the tasks assigned by the organisation with dedication. He urged workers to actively participate together in the intensive voter revision campaign.
