We plan to expand our organisation in Uttar Pradesh: Nishant Kumar on JDU's plan ahead of 2027 assembly elections

Speaking about the partys plans, Nishant Kumar said party workers and people in Uttar Pradesh had been demanding a meeting in the state for a long time, following which the party decided to organise one.

For a long time, people and party workers in Uttar Pradesh had been demanding that a meeting be held there. So, we are going to organise a meeting. Our party has its roots in Bihar, but we have also had an organisational presence in other states across the country, particularly in the Northeast, he said.

He added that the party now intends to strengthen its organisational presence in Uttar Pradesh and expand its activities in the state.

We now plan to expand our organisation in Uttar Pradesh, strengthen our presence there and move forward. The Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections are scheduled for 2027, and we are considering contesting them, he said.

On the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Nishant Kumar said the party was considering contesting the polls and would make efforts to do so as an NDA constituent.

We will make an effort to contest the elections as a constituent of the NDA, he added.

Nishant Kumar also congratulated the NDA candidates who won the recent MLC elections, saying the BJPs victory in two seats and JD(U)s win in one seat reflected public appreciation for the work done by his father and the NDA over the past 20 years.

I extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all the NDA candidates who won in the recent MLC elections. The two seats won by the BJP and the one seat won by us reflect the public's appreciation for the work carried out by my father and the NDA over the last 20 years, he said.

As for our losses, we will review the reasons behind them and strive to address any shortcomings, he added. (ANI)
