Organisational polls of the Uttar Pradesh unit of Bharatiya Janata Party will commence with the elections of 1.63 lakh booth committees from Thursday.
Booth committees in the BJP have become a prominent part of the party organisation as they were instrumental in the success in the 2017 Assembly and 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls in the state.
BJP leader and Union minister Amit Shah and other party leaders have interacted with members of the booth committees from time to time, showing its importance in the party set-up and election process.
“The election of booth committees will continue for five days and conclude on September 22. “During these elections, presidents and members of 1,63,331 booth committees would be elected in the state,” said BJP state general secretary and in-charge of west UP, Vijay Bahadur Pathak, in Lucknow on Wednesday.
The organisational election process comes after a massive membership drive in which over 5.5 million new members were enrolled.
Urban Development Minister Ashutosh Tandon has been made the returning officer of the polls and 27,000 sector-level returning officers have been deputed for ensuring free and fair elections.
Pathak said that after booth-level elections, the party would hold elections for block-level organisation from October 11 to 20 while district-level elections would be held in November. A month later, in December, the state -level elections would be held.
