Organisational meetings held in U.P., Uttarakhand. The BJP has kick-started preparations for the election cycle in 2022, when several Assembly elections, including in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and later in the year in Gujarat are to take place, with the party’s general secretary (organisation) B.L. Santosh travelling to Uttarakhand last weekend and to Uttar Pradesh on Monday to hold organisational meetings. In Uttarakhand, Mr. Santosh addressed the State’s core committee, the first time after Tirath Singh Rawat replaced Trivendra Singh Rawat as Chief Minister. The emphasis, say sources, was to bridge the perception divide that the BJP organisation was absent from the ground at a critical time.
