Roadshow, sword and 2027 pitch: BJP’s new youth wing chief takes charge

“They will come with the arithmetic of caste, while we will go to the people with the account of development. They will divide society in the name of caste; the BJP will unite it through nationalism,” he said.

Looking to the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Mishra said every BJYM worker would work with “full energy and commitment” to ensure the BJP’s return to power for a third consecutive term. He urged party workers to take the Narendra Modi government’s achievements to every household and begin preparations for the polls immediately.

Claiming that the BJP government had ensured transparent recruitment and expanded infrastructure through expressways, airports and medical colleges, Mishra alleged that Uttar Pradesh before 2017 was known for crime, corruption and “caste-based recruitment”, while under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, law and order had improved and recruitment was being conducted on merit.

Former BJYM state president Pranshudutt Dwivedi said the youth wing had played an important role in nation-building and expressed confidence that the organisation would expand further under Mishra’s leadership.

Hailing from Pratapgarh, Mishra is a former president of the Allahabad University Students’ Union. He previously served as the BJYM’s Uttar Pradesh vice-president and has also been associated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
