Tawde retained the general secretary post and gained the Uttar Pradesh organisational charge. Further state in-charge names are to follow.

What It Means For You
- If you follow Uttar Pradesh politics, Tawde is now the BJP's state in-charge for the 2027 Assembly election.
- Anyone in Punjab or Gujarat can note Poonia and Chugh received those state charges in the same 18 August order.
- If you track Bihar, Tawde was the party's state in-charge there from 2022 through the 2025 polls.
What's Happening
- On 18 August 2026, Nabin appointed Tawde as BJP in-charge for Uttar Pradesh, with Patel as co-in-charge.
- Poonia was named Punjab in-charge and Chugh Gujarat in-charge.
- The appointments followed the previous day's national office-bearer list.
Why The UP Charge Follows The Bihar Role
- Tawde, a Maharashtra leader, became a Rajya Sabha MP in March 2026 after a gap from electoral office.
- The BJP will seek a third consecutive term in Uttar Pradesh in 2027 after a weaker 2024 Lok Sabha result in the State.
- Nabin had already begun consulting Uttar Pradesh MPs on organisation and caste equations before naming the in-charge.
