Future Difficulties for the New President
As the party gets ready for impending state and union territory elections, the newly elected president and their team will take over a pivotal period. With the BJP currently ruling just Assam, the imminent election difficulties are West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, and Puducherry.
Elections are scheduled for Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Punjab, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Gujarat in the future.
Of these, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) governs Punjab, the Congress leads Himachal Pradesh, the BJP controls four states, and Manipur is administered by the President. In the upcoming months, the party leadership will have to strategically traverse these various political environments.
