According to the BJP’s strategy, Naresh Agarwal is considered a strong leader of the Vaish community in the state. Former Finance Minister Rajesh Agarwal has been removed from the Yogi cabinet and made the national treasurer of the party. In such a situation, making Nitin the vice-president will not only send a good message to the Vaish community, but the party will also get a young face from the Vaish community. On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party is working on a strategy to compete with the BJP and is preparing to make this election forward versus backward.
