BJP's tensions rise over SIR and UGC issues ahead of Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections

Lucknow, Sept 30 (UNI) Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, concerns have emerged within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over issues such as the Special Intensive Review (SIR), new University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations, and allegations of embezzlement in Ayodhya. The party's newly appointed state in-charges on Tuesday shared their concerns with National President Nitin Nabin.
This was the first formal group meeting of the newly appointed in-charges and co-in-charges following the recent major reshuffle in the organisation. Nabin asked the in-charges to openly present the ground situation in the states. According to BJP sources, in-charges from election-bound states, including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, and Manipur, raised SIR as a potential election issue.
They said that the opposition's raising of issues related to the revision of voter lists and the Election Commission is creating confusion and apprehension among the public. Some in-charges from North India also expressed concern about the new UGC regulations and stressed the need for immediate action in this regard.
