Political career

Brijesh has been a member of the 17th Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh. Since 2017 he is representing the Deoband constituency and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party.[1][1]

He has been an active member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Brijesh started his political career as a leader of the student wing of the RSS, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, in 1994. Later he became an activist of BJP's youth wing Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and gradually rose in the BJYM hierarchy, holding various posts including that of District Secretary, District Vice president, Vice-Incharge and Incharge of West Uttar Pradesh and Vice-President of the State.

In 2016, Brijesh was given a strategic post in BJP and appointed as Secretary for West UP considering the upcoming Legislative Elections in the state. Currently he is the member of the State Working Committee of Uttar Pradesh BJP.

His firm acumen at political affairs in Uttar Pradesh, exceptional command over oratory skills, political management, and organisational skills makes him most favoured among youth and party. He was given a ticket from the controversial seat of Deoband, in Uttar Pradesh General Elections 2017 where the party hasn't won since 2002. Brijesh secured a thumping victory over the rivals from Deoband which made him favourite among party's top brass and Uttar Pradesh's politics. On 16 March 2017, Brijesh proposed to change the constituency name from Deoband to Devvrind.[4][5]
