"BJP is currently running four campaigns in Uttar Pradesh under various slogans and the main slogan of BJP is 'Soch Imanadar, Kaam Damdaar, Fir Ek Baar BJP Sarkar' for the 2022 state Assembly elections.
"Last time in 2017 our main campaign was 'Na Gundaraj Na Bhrashtachar, Abki Baar BJP Sarkar'," said Ankit Chandel, head, UP Social Media.

Temple but also pilgrimages like Ayodhya, Kashi, Chitrakoot and Mathura have been added to the UP election campaign," added Chandel.
