Now, Danish Raza Ansari is the BJP’s new Muslim face in Uttar Pradesh, he has been replaced former minister Mohsin Raza who sworn in as a member of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ministry.

Mohsin Raz is the BJP’s Muslim face in Uttar Pradesh as he will be replaced Danish Azad Ansari in the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath proposed ministry.

Ansari, a resident of the Balia district, has been a member of the Urdu Language Committee of the UP government. He is also the state general secretary of the BJP Minority Morcha in Uttar Pradesh.

Ansari started his political career as a student leader at Lucknow University. He has held several positions in the RSS-linked student organisation ABVP.

He was appointed member of the language committee after the BJP came to power in 2017.

He has been continuously active among youth and minority groups, which is being seen as a reason for his ministerial berth. Ansari has been loyal to the top leadership of the party and often expresses his gratitude towards them.

He had earlier said that the Yogi Adityanath-led government in UP is committed to the upliftment of minorities and the youth. Raising the standard of education and implementing welfare schemes aimed at minorities was the state government’s priority.

The BJP retained power in Uttar Pradesh by winning 255 out of 403 constituencies, securing a 41.29 per cent vote share.
