BJP blames Opposition's 'false propaganda' for UP Lok Sabha result

NEW DELHI: At the BJP's state executive meeting in Lucknow on Sunday, the party passed a resolution stating that it could not get win on the expected lines in the 2024 LS polls in Uttar Pradesh because of false propaganda spread by the opposition against it on issues like ending reservation and making changes in the Constitution.

The BJP reiterated that the party is committed to ensuring reservation for the OBCs, SCs and STs. The party felt that its workers must unite with greater strength.

The BJP held the first major meeting of the UP unit to discuss the reasons for its performance which was below its expectations in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls where the BJP bagged only 33 seats, down from 62 it had won in 2019.


BJP president JP Nadda, who attended the meeting, tried to keep the morale of the party workers high by saying that the BJP is the only pan-India party and that the BJP has presence in all four corners of the country.

"We are a party representing the aspirations and sentiments of 140 crore people. We are the only party that has internal democracy and does not believe in nepotism. It is the BJP alone that follows the concept of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas'," Nadda told the gathering. He appealed to party workers to maintain self-confidence and continue with introspection.
