These initiatives aim to mobilize people and generate enthusiasm in favor of the BJP for the upcoming elections.
Senior leaders asked explanation on defeats in their region
Despite achieving significant victories in the urban local body elections, the UP BJP is actively analysing its setbacks in specific regions, according to a senior party leader. The party has initiated inquiries and sought explanations from leaders whose constituencies witnessed wins by opposition candidates. This scrutiny extends to several ministers, state and district office-bearers, as well as legislators. Notable figures unable to secure victory for the party's candidates within their own home turfs include cabinet minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, Rakesh Sachan, Pratibha Shukla, Jaswant Saini, KP Malik, and union minister Ajay Mishra Teni.

In order to generate momentum for the upcoming 2024 LS (Lok Sabha) polls, the party has made the strategic decision to capitalise on the resounding victory in the urban body polls. As part of this strategy, the party has requested all elected representatives in the urban bodies to organize thanksgiving rallies within their respective areas.
