After the BJP’s landslide victory in the 2017 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath was an unexpected choice for the Chief Minister’s post. Adityanath, a saffron-clad ‘poster boy’ for Hindutva, is considered a flamboyant leader.
His critics believe that as the Chief Minister of the most populous state in the country, he has completely balanced his image of this ‘fire brand’ leader.
According to analysts, the absolute majority victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections 2022 has further enhanced the political stature of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The yogi also broke the myth that the chair of the Chief Minister who goes to Noida is gone and despite going to Noida many times, he has been the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for the last five consecutive years, and now again he is forming his government in UP.
The yogi’s political journey is full of achievements. In politics, they are the third generation of Gorakshapeeth. Brahmin Mahant Digvijay Nath was also MLA and MP from Gorakhpur. After this Mahant Avidyanath is also represented in both ‘Vidhan Sabha’ and ‘Lok Sabha’. Carrying on the legacy of Yogi Adityanath Gorakshapeeth, he became a BJP MP from Gorakhpur for the first time in 1998 at the age of just 26 and continued his winning streak five times in a row.
