BJP has created history in the 2022 assembly elections. BJP is leading on 272 seats and Samajwadi Party is ahead on 126. Whereas Congress is leading in two, BSP 1 and Independent in 2 seats. With this resounding victory, Yogi Adityanath’s stature in the party has increased further. Yogi also broke the myth that the Chief Minister who goes to Noida loses his chair and despite visiting Noida several times, he has remained the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for the last five years.

How Yogi Adityanath reached the pinnacle of power

When the results of the 2017 assembly elections came out, the BJP won with 300 plus seats. Although initially Manoj Sinha had come in front of CM race, but BJP took an unexpected decision and handed over the chief minister’s post to Yogi Adityanath. At that time, Yogi Adityanath’s image was as the ‘poster boy’ of Hindutva, wearing saffron clothes and a bright leader. This style of his continues even today.

Critics of Yogi Adityanath believe that while handling the state with the largest population of the country, there may have been some balance in his fire brand image, but he has not changed much, it is not so.

Born in Pauri, seven brothers and sisters and then became a monk

The date was June 5, 1972 and the place was Panchur village of Yamkeshwar tehsil of Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. A boy was born to Anand Singh Bisht. Named Ajay Singh Bisht. The brightest of the seven children of the parents. Experts say that while studying graduation, Yogi Adityanath joined Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and in 1992 he did B.Sc from Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University.

During the Ram Mandir movement, he was inclined towards the movement and in the meantime he came to Gorakhpur in the year 1993 to do research on Guru Gorakhnath. In Gorakhpur, he came in contact with Mahant and Mahant Avaidyanath, the leader of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple construction movement, and in 1994, Yogi became a complete monk.

Mahant Avaidyanath’s successor

Yogi was declared his successor by Mahant Avaidyanath and after taking initiation Ajay Singh Bisht became Yogi Adityanath. On 12 September 2014, after Mahant Avaidyanath became Brahmalin, Yogi was declared Mahant of Gorakshapeeth. At that time he was not averse to confrontation with the BJP and had also founded his own organization of volunteers called Hindu Yuva Vahini.

Yogi Gorakshapeeth’s third generation in politics

Yogi’s political journey is full of achievements. Yogi is the third generation of Gorakshpeeth in politics. Brahmalin Mahant Digvijay Nath was also MLA and MP from Gorakhpur. After this Mahant Avaidyanath also represented in both the Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha.

Taking forward the legacy of Gorakshpeeth, Yogi Adityanath became a BJP MP from Gorakhpur for the first time in 1998 at the age of 26 and his winning streak continued for five consecutive terms. This time too Yogi Adityanath contested the assembly elections from Gorakhpur for the first time in his political career of nearly two and a half decades.

When the leader of the legislature party was elected

In March 2017, Yogi was elected the leader of the legislature party in the BJP Legislature Party meeting in Lucknow. After this, Yogi resigned from the membership of the Lok Sabha and became a member of the Legislative Council and took oath as the Chief Minister on 19 March 2017.

These decisions were discussed

• At the beginning of his tenure, he banned illegal slaughterhouses.
• The police cracked down on cow slaughter.
• His government later brought an ordinance and then a bill against forced or fraudulent conversions.

Record made after 37 years

After nearly 37 years in UP, BJP seems to be making a record by forming a government with full majority again. Political analysts say that this has increased the stature of Yogi Adityanath. Before this, in 1985, for the second time in a row, the Congress party formed the government with an absolute majority.

Yogi is believed to have initiated the polarization of votes by giving the slogan of 80 vs 20 percent in the current assembly elections. Analysts see 20 percent as the Muslim population and 80 percent as the Hindu population. Its Yogi also made the action taken against the mafia and criminals an issue throughout the election.

‘Yogi’s bulldozer’ dominated the election campaign of top BJP leaders. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav also often used to taunt Yogi by taking the name of bulldozer and bull (bull) in his meetings. Yadav had made an issue of not being able to control the animals left in the elections.
