BJP to Hold Uttarakhand State Executive Meeting in Haridwar on November 21-22, Signalling 2027 Poll Push
The BJP will hold its Uttarakhand state executive committee meeting in Haridwar on November 21 and 22, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and state in-charge Ram Madhav attending, as the party begins preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections.
Current Summary
The Bharatiya Janata Party's Uttarakhand unit will hold its state executive committee meeting in Haridwar on November 21 and 22, state BJP president Mahendra Bhatt told ANI. Front and cell-level executive meetings will take place on November 21, followed by the expanded executive committee meeting on November 22, where election preparations and strategy will be discussed. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and state party in-charge Ram Madhav are expected to attend, along with co-in-charges Bansuri Swaraj and Arvind Menon. Bhatt said Haridwar was chosen because the party's performance there was weak in the previous elections. A separate meeting on November 15 in Mussoorie will plan 'Tridev Sammelans' and other constituency-level conferences. The party has also announced a 15-day programme beginning Wednesday to mark State Foundation Day across all 'Shakti Kendras' in the state, with the broader election campaign expected to gather pace by the end of the month as the party finalises schedules for roughly a dozen central leaders.
