Amid mounting speculation over leadership changes, insiders suggest that the selection of a new Uttar Pradesh BJP president will occur only after the election of the national president. This strategic sequence aims to align with national political objectives and leverage Uttar Pradesh's significance within the party.

The decision, once made, will consider a variety of factors, including long-term political equations and upcoming state assembly and panchayat elections. The state has completed elections in 70 districts, but the full organizational council, which plays a crucial role in voting, is yet to be announced.

Internal party discussions revolve around potential contenders, focusing on best balancing regional and caste dimensions. The BJP is evaluating leaders from OBC, Brahmin, and Dalit communities while considering its rival Samajwadi Party's strategies. Party officials emphasize that factors like caste, previous leadership roles, and political dynamics are under scrutiny.
