Congress Reshuffles UP Leadership Amid BJP Dissent Ahead of 2027 Elections
With the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections approaching, the Congress has reshuffled its state leadership, appointing Aradhana Misra as UPCC chief and Imran Masood as working president, aiming to revive its traditional Brahmin-Muslim-SC coalition and complement the Samajwadi Party's base. Meanwhile, the BJP faces internal dissent over nominations and leadership issues, with some leaders defecting or expressing dissatisfaction. The BJP's organisational strength remains key, but these challenges may impact its electoral prospects amid ongoing seat-sharing talks within the opposition INDIA alliance.
