Block Pramukh, Harhua(Shivpur Vidhan Sabha)
Dedicated to carrying the spirit of service and public welfare to the last person in society, through public service, development and organisation.
Vinod Kumar Upadhyay ‘Babbu’ is the Block Pramukh of Harhua development block, Varanasi. He was born into a respected family of Goithaha village in Varanasi district and was educated in Kashi. Since childhood he has been drawn to nationalist thought, social service and organisational work.
A senior and dedicated worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he is counted among the close associates of Shri Anil Rajbhar, Cabinet Minister in the Uttar Pradesh government and MLA from Shivpur. In July 2021 the BJP named him its candidate for Block Pramukh of Harhua, and such was his standing in the area that he was elected unopposed.
His simple nature, and being always within reach of the people, have made him a popular leader of the countryside. Taking service to the last person in society, and working steadily to resolve people’s problems, is the central aim of his public life.
