BJP micro-manages 23 Uttarakhand seats lost in 2022
The BJP is a big political party in India.
It runs the state of Uttarakhand.
In 2022, people voted to choose their state government.
The BJP lost some seats in that election.
Now the party wants to win those seats back.
So it asked its important leaders to take care of those areas.
The Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, is one of those leaders.
He even lost his own seat in 2022.
Now he will work hard in that area to help his party.
The party wants to do better in the next election in 2027.
The BJP has assigned senior leaders to oversee organizational work in the 23 Assembly constituencies it lost in the 2022 Uttarakhand elections.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who lost his traditional Khatima seat in 2022, has been assigned that constituency.
The micro-management strategy aims to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
The move comes amid BJP concerns over anti-incumbency, particularly among Gen Z voters.
Congress won 19 of the 23 seats the BJP lost in 2022, while the Bahujan Samaj Party and Independents won the remaining four.
