The BJP is reportedly planning to drop between 30% and 40% of its sitting MLAs in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 state elections.
According to reports from The Economic Times, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is considering a significant reshuffle of its legislative assembly cadre in Uttar Pradesh. The party is reportedly planning to drop between 30% and 40% of its sitting MLAs ahead of the 2027 state elections.
The move is aimed at rejuvenating the party's image and addressing internal dissent, officials said. The decision would affect roughly 120 to 160 of the 312 seats currently held by BJP members in the state assembly.
The party has not yet released an official statement, and the timing of the final decision remains unclear. Analysts suggest that the reshuffle could be part of a broader strategy to strengthen the BJP’s electoral prospects in the country’s most populous state.
