Uttar Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to overhaul it’s entire organisational structure by removing the non performing and careless party workers of about 200 divisions (mandals) across politically crucial Uttar Pradesh. Organisationally, the party has divided the state into 1,918 divisions each having around 90 polling booths.

Sources said that the state BJP leadership has sent a number of party leaders to assess the situation in the identified divisions and submit a detailed report. A number of booth level functionaries would also be replaced, sources added. The divisions or mandals are essentially within those parliamentary and assembly seats which the saffron outfit could not win in the 2019 Lok Sabha and 2022 assembly elections.
Earlier the party has replaced around 70 per cent of the district presidents. Reshuffle took place in the functionaries at the regional level as well. A host of senior party leaders, including district in-charges and presidents of various organisational fronts, are also expected to be replaced.

UP BJP spokesperson Hero Bajpai said that the exercise was much anticipated to throw a new energy into the ground level activities. “There have been complaints of some of the party workers turning irresponsible. They need to be changed. That is how the BJP functions,” he said.
