BJP’s ideological fountainhead, the RSS, will be holding its annual ‘Akhil Bhartiya Prant Pracharak Baithak’ in Chitrakoot (Madhya Pradesh) close to Uttar Pradesh, where the saffron party is headed for its biggest electoral challenge next year. Sources say the top brass of the Sangh will brainstorm on several important issues, including the forthcoming elections in key states, between July 9 and 13. UP elections are also expected to figure in Chitrakoot along with ways to improve the image of the Yogi government affected due to the charges of Covid “mismanagement”.

Sources say the RSS is actively monitoring the situation in the key state to set things right for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP. The feedback from the meeting is also expected to help the BJP prepare its political pitch for poll-bound states, including UP. Adityanath is facing resistance from within the state unit. After a string of meetings between RSS and BJP top brass in Delhi and Lucknow, it was decided to go with the incumbent CM as party’s face in UP elections.
