BJP Prepares for Possible Early Assembly Elections in Four States Ahead of 2027 Census
The BJP is preparing for the possibility of advancing assembly elections in Goa, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, originally scheduled for February 2027, to avoid overlap with the Census enumeration exercise. The party has urged state units to accelerate poll preparations amid concerns over manpower shortages, as census and election duties draw from similar personnel pools. In Manipur, election timing remains uncertain due to ongoing ethnic tensions. BJP leaders also aim to capitalize on recent electoral momentum while monitoring opposition dynamics in these states.
