Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the BJP headquarters in Delhi on Thursday to express his gratitude to the behind-the-scenes party workers. Amid the political turmoil in Uttar Pradesh (UP), Modi's visit has generated significant interest.
According to ANI, the Prime Minister thanked the workers for their dedication, particularly during the election period when they took no leave. He praised their hard work and expressed appreciation for their unwavering support over the decades. "Today, Prime Minister Modi came to the BJP HQ to meet our staff, many of who have been working for the party for decades. They have seen the party rise from 2 seats to 303, when we just had one Ambassador car to now a fleet... It was an emotional moment for them to be recognised," said Amit Malviya, in-charge of BJP's National Information & Technology Department and and member of the party's National Executive, in a post on X.

This visit came shortly after UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya stated that the 'party organization was bigger than the government', leading many to interpret Modi’s actions as an endorsement of Maurya’s comments.
संगठन सरकार से बड़ा है, कार्यकर्ताओं का दर्द मेरा दर्द है संगठन से बड़ा कोई नहीं, कार्यकर्ता ही गौरव है...

BJP's Report On The Poll Results in UP
At a recent meeting of the Uttar Pradesh state executive in Lucknow, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath acknowledged, "When we assume with such confidence that we are winning, we naturally have to pay the price. The opposition, which had lost heart before the election, is now working with renewed vigor."
The timing of Modi's visit also coincided with the leak of an internal report from the BJP Uttar Pradesh unit to the central leadership, which detailed the reasons behind the party's loss of seats in the state. The report highlighted issues such as frequent paper leaks and the hiring of contractual workers in government jobs, indirectly pointing to concerns about Chief Minister Yogi's governance.
