In the run-up to the 2019 general elections, Nadda was in-charge of BJP’s election campaign in Uttar Pradesh, where the party faced a tough challenge following the alliance between the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Apart from handling crucial states for the BJP in the general elections, Nadda is also a member of the parliamentary board of the party.
