SP, Congress resorting to negative politics in UP: BJP chief Nitin Nabin

Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin on Saturday accused the Samajwadi Party and Congress of lacking substantive issues and resorting to “negative politics” to distract the public, asserting that the BJP’s sole focus remains Uttar Pradesh’s development.

During his two-day visit to the party’s state headquarters here to fine-tune the BJP’s strategy for the 2027 assembly elections, Nabin addressed a meeting of the BJP’s UP office-bearers and district presidents and said the opposition was attempting to divert public attention instead of discussing development.

“The SP and the Congress have no issues. They are indulging in negative politics to distract the people. We should not fall into the opposition’s trap. Our focus must remain on working for Uttar Pradesh’s development,” the BJP president said.

The meeting was attended by BJP national general secretary (Organisation) BL Santhosh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, state BJP president Pankaj Chaudhary, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and state general secretary (Organisation) Dharampal Singh, among other senior leaders.

Calling upon party workers to strengthen the organisation at the grassroots, Nabin said BJP leaders should visit every village and reach every household.
