Chaudhary replaces Swatantra Dev Singh, an OBC leader from southern UP바카라 웹사이트who has been made a minister in the Yogi Adityanath government.
Ahead of the 2024 election, Chaudhary's appointment is being바카라 웹사이트seen as the BJP's attempt to reach out to the influential Jat community, which was at the forefront of the year-long farmers' protest against the three contentious farm laws.
With the appointment of Chaudhary, also the state Minister for Panchayati Raj, Uttar Pradesh has become the third state where the BJP will be headed by a Jat leader, after O P Dhankar in Haryana and Satish Poonia in Rajasthan. As the chief minister hails from eastern Uttar Pradesh, the BJP also looks to strike a regional balance with the appointment of Chaudhary, who is from western Uttar Pradesh, as the party's state president.
