A Jat leader from Uttar Pradesh, Bhupendra Chaudhary's appointment is seen as an outreach to the community.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, on Thursday, 25 August, was appointed as the new chief of the party's Uttar Pradesh unit.

He will replace Swatantra Dev Singh who has been made a minister in the Yogi government.

This comes amid speculations about the party appointing a new chief following Swatantra's resignation. The appointment is also crucial in light of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Chaudhary, who is currently the minister for Panchayati Raj in Yogi Adityanath's cabinet, is serving a second term as a minister in the government.
