Date:

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday appointed its senior leader Bhupendra Chaudhary the president of its Uttar Pradesh unit. The decision came so suddenly that it surprised Singh who was on a tour of Azamgarh and Mau districts. As he was called to Delhi, he had to abruptly leave for the national capital, sources said. Chaudhary is a minister of Panchayati Raj Department in Yogi Adityanath-led state government.

According to political analysts, by appointing Choudhary as state party president, the BJP has made an attempt to woo the state’s Jat community which was disenchanted with the party after the farmers’ agitation last year. The Jat community is politically dominant in western Uttar Pradesh. Choudhary belongs to a farmer’s family in Mahendra Sikanderpur village of Chajalat region in Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad district.  In 1991, when Choudhary was a student, he joined the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
