The political pressure centered on the seat of Yogi Adityanath began in Uttar Pradesh. The main opposition party SP had earlier targeted Yogi, saying that Yogi, the chief minister, does not get a ticket from where he wants to stand (Ayodhya). In the words of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, “In fact, Yogi had said that if he came to Faizabad, he would be given a farewell reception.”

Akhilesh has also offered an SP ticket to Radhamohan Agarwal, the current BJP MLA from Gorakhpur. “If he gets in touch with you, let us know so we can give him a ticket,” he told reporters. Not stopping here, the SP leader said, “I remember the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Radhamohan Agarwal could not find a place to sit. He has been the most humiliated in the BJP government. ”

A lot of false promises are being given by SP leader Akhilesh regarding the minimum support price of all kinds of crops for farmers, free irrigation facilities, insurance, pensions, and many more. If he is so concerned about the development of the state he could have won the election in 2017.
