The date has come! Amit Shah will contest for UP elections in the end of October


The murmur in the politics of Uttar Pradesh, the country’s largest political state, has once again intensified. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has now started making its strategic moves regarding the upcoming assembly elections to be held in the year 2027. Amidst this political excitement, the date for the visit of the country’s Union Home Minister and BJP’s Chanakya to Uttar Pradesh, Amit Shah, has almost been fixed. In the last days of October, Amit Shah is going to directly land in Lucknow to formally and aggressively launch the party’s election campaign. There are intense discussions in the political circles regarding his visit and everyone is trying to understand what is the ‘masterplan’ of BJP this time. Especially political analysts are linking it to that special ‘three-month mathematics’ and micromanagement for which Amit Shah’s working style is known. Let us know in detail what is the meaning of this high-profile tour to be held at the end of October and under what strategy BJP is going to enter the field.

According to the information received, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be on a visit to Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, on October 30 and 31. During this two-day visit, he will mainly participate in the very important State Working Committee meeting of Uttar Pradesh BJP. In this high level meeting, all the senior leaders of the state including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, regional presidents, ministers and selected officials of the organization will be present. According to sources, this meeting is not just a formal organizational event, but is the main focus point of the conch sound of Mission 2027. Amidst the changed political equations after the Lok Sabha elections and the challenges being faced by the opposition, this visit of Amit Shah will help in instilling a new enthusiasm among the workers. In the meeting, ground feedback will be taken for all the 403 assembly seats in the state and a special review will be done of those seats where the party’s performance was weak in the last elections. This direct intervention of Shah is enough to send a message that the party high command is in no mood for any laxity regarding the elections.

The most talked about thing in political circles these days is what is the ‘3 months mathematics’ behind this entire campaign. In fact, election strategists believe that the initial and last months before any major election are very decisive. This plan of BJP is to bring the organization completely into electoral mode, where different targets are being set for every month. A strict deadline has been set to speed up the verification of booth committees, activation of Panna Pramukhs and promotion of public welfare schemes of the government in the coming months. Along with this, in those seats where there have been reports of public displeasure regarding MLAs or local leaders, three months is being considered as an important window period to make changes or improvements in time. Through this visit, Amit Shah will give the secret mantra of further strengthening the coordination between the party organization and the government so that any narrative of the opponents can be strongly cut at the grassroots level.

Opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh are continuously trying to corner the government on PDA (backward, Dalit, minority) and other issues. In such a situation, BJP is not in favor of adopting a lax stance on any front. The main focus of this tour of Amit Shah is to bring back into the party fold those angry or neutral voters who have stayed away for some time due to some reasons. Apart from this, special social equations will also be brainstormed to further sharpen the party’s hold among the youth (Gen-G) and women. This time, indications are being given to adopt a completely transparent and survey-based system in the process of ticket distribution, so that only winning and sustainable faces can be fielded. As the month of October is moving towards its final phase, the political temperature is continuously rising. Now it remains to be seen what new and interesting turn the election battle of Uttar Pradesh reaches after this steely leadership of Amit Shah and the decided ‘mathematics’.
