<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
