Lucknow, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : In a significant political shift ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, former MP Arvind Chaudhary and Samajwadi Party leader Anil Yadav have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The two leaders, along with hundreds of their supporters, officially became members of the BJP during a ceremony in Lucknow on Wednesday.

Pankaj Chaudhary, the state president of the BJP and Minister of State for Finance, welcomed them into the party in the presence of senior party officials. He emphasized that the BJP is an ideology-driven organization where the contributions of each worker are valued. The inclusion of Chaudhary, Yadav, and their supporters is expected to infuse new energy and strength into the party.

During the membership event, Pankaj Chaudhary highlighted the developmental milestones achieved under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership over the past 12 years. He stated that the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas” is not merely a slogan but the foundation of the government’s functioning, focusing on welfare without discrimination.

He also reiterated the BJP’s commitment to realizing a developed India by 2047, asserting that every party worker is dedicated to national interest and public service. Chaudhary expressed concerns about certain forces attempting to create chaos and undermine India’s democratic fabric, questioning whether there are attempts to push India toward instability similar to that of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

He urged citizens to remain vigilant against such attempts, affirming the strength of India’s democracy. He noted that the upcoming elections are not just about winning or forming a government but are crucial for maintaining stability, development, and democratic values. It is the collective responsibility of all to thwart efforts aimed at destabilizing the country.

Chaudhary concluded by praising Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, stating that Uttar Pradesh is progressing on the path of development in a fear-free environment, with the BJP continuously strengthening its organizational presence in the state.
