NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday kicked off a key meeting of the Uttar Pradesh BJP in Lucknow, where the party set a target of winning 325 to 350 seats in the 2027 Assembly elections, calling on the workers to prepare for a third consecutive term in office. The state assembly has a total of 402 seats.
Shah was the chief guest at the state working committee meeting held months before Uttar Pradesh goes to the polls early next year. It was also the first meeting of the panel since Union minister Pankaj Chaudhary took over as the state BJP president.
Harishchandra Srivastava, a member of the working committee, said the meeting was held under the chairmanship of Chaudhary, the Union Minister of State for Finance.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, deputy chief ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak and several prominent leaders were present at the meeting held at the Dr Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University.
Chaudhary lit a ceremonial lamp and paid floral tribute to portraits of Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Deendayal Upadhyaya as slogans of ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ rang through the auditorium.
The other key leaders present at the meeting included BJP’s state in-charge Vinod Tawde, national general secretary Smriti Irani and Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan.
