Anticipated UP Cabinet Reshuffle Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections

Published

on

The Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh is poised to reorganize its state ministry as part of a strategy to enhance its caste representation and counter the Samajwadi Party’s PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) approach ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is currently in Delhi and is slated to meet with senior party leaders to discuss these developments. This will mark the second expansion of the Yogi 2.0 government, which took office in March 2022.

A senior party official indicated on Saturday that changes would occur in both the state BJP organization and the council of ministers. “The reshuffle might happen around Holi, pending approval from the party’s high command,” the official noted.

The official further mentioned that the BJP is set to appoint a new state president and that some members from the party organization could be integrated into the ministry, while certain ministers may transition to organizational positions.
“It is certain that the representation of most backward classes and Dalits will be prioritized in the reshuffle to counter the Samajwadi Party’s PDA strategy,” the source asserted.

In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the SP garnered 37 seats through this strategy, while the BJP saw a decline, securing only 33 out of 80 seats— a drop from the 62 seats won in 2019.

The current UP Council of Ministers consists of 54 members, though it can accommodate up to 60. This includes 21 cabinet ministers, 14 ministers of state (independent charge), and 19 ministers of state. The caste representation features 23 ministers from the general category, 22 from Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and 9 from the Scheduled Caste community.

Present UP BJP President Bhupendra Singh Choudhary, a Jat leader, is expected to be given a cabinet position. There is also speculation that rebel SP MLAs, such as Manoj Kumar Pandey and Puja Pal, may be inducted into the council of ministers.
