Verma started off as a party worker in Badaun and became a prominent leader among the OBC communities, especially the Lodhis in western UP. He is also the state vice president of BJP.
The party’s decision to induct Verma in the central team has come ahead of crucial Uttar Pradesh elections in 2022. Before the assembly elections, the last of the rural polls is also scheduled to be held on July 10. The candidates have to be nominated by Thursday.
