Uttar Pradesh Polls: BJP and RSS will conduct twin surveys for chief ministerial candidate ,BJP CM candidate UP, UP BJP CM candidate 2017,BJP chief minister candidate for UP assembly polls
Of all the major political parties, the BJP alone has not declared its presumptive Chief Minister for the crucial Uttar Pradesh election. Change could be in the air. Sources say that over the next few weeks, extensive surveys and field work will be carried out to determine just who the BJP should pick as its nominee for heading India's most populous state.
As always, the BJP's efforts will be in sync with its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh or RSS. Source say that last night, BJP president Amit Shah met with Bhaiyaji Joshi, No 2 in the RSS.
They reportedly concluded that the BJP will benefit from contesting Uttar Pradesh with a Chief Ministerial candidate, rather than wrapping the entire campaign around top leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Next steps: the BJP and the RSS, which has a vast matrix of grassroots workers, will collect feedback, and then send it for analysis to the top leadership, who in turn, will swap notes.
"We expect that the results of the two surveys will be the same...(but) it's going to be a complicated exercise. And there still maybe a situation where the BJP will go without a (Chief Ministerial) face ," said a senior BJP leader, asking not to be named.
There is going to be a proper survey done in this regard. Two sets of surveys will be conducted - one by the RSS and another by the BJP. Once the result of the surveys is out, only then will the party, in consultation with the RSS, take a decision.
The BJP has been grappling with this problem of having a chief ministerial face for quite a while now. It knows that there are various factions within the party which are competent enough to sabotage the party's prospect in their respective areas, if their factions are denied the honour of having the chief ministerial candidate.
The search is on for the BJP's chief ministerial candidate in Uttar Pradesh.
