Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary is set to become Uttar Pradesh BJP president, pending confirmation.

Pankaj Chaudhary is set to become Uttar Pradesh BJP president after filing the only nomination, with confirmation due December 14. The seven-time MP and Kurmi OBC leader is a calculated pick to shore up OBC support ahead of the 2027 assembly polls, signaling the party’s focus on loyalty, caste arithmetic, and organizational discipline rather than internal contest.
