Yogi adityanath

Accounting for 80 of the Lok Sabha’s 543 seats, and a 403-member Assembly, Uttar Pradesh, with its over 15 crore voters, is India’s most politically significant state. Since January 25, 1950, when the United Provinces was renamed as Uttar Pradesh, the state – through 17 Assembly elections — has determined the course of national politics, throwing up a legion of stalwarts, chief ministers, and Prime Ministers. Of its 21 CMs though, only Yogi Adityanath, Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati have completed a full five-year term, reflecting the intense volatility of its politics.

Yogi Adityanath on Thursday became the first chief minister to retain power in Uttar Pradesh since the 1985 assembly elections. Back then, Congress’s ND Tiwari fought and won the polls, holding on to the CM’s chair. Additionally, Yogi Adityanath is the only chief minister of the state with a full five years in the office to win the subsequent election and retain it. This is really a historic achievement in a state that has seen 21 CMs in the last 70 years. But how did it become possible? Was Yogi facing a pro-incumbency sentiment in the state and the criticism of mismanaging the Covid second wave was just political opportunism of rivals? Or was his re-election pushed by the most visible factor in the state – Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav again fighting polls without much active support from his father Mulayam Singh Yadav? GOVERNANCE THE BACKBONE The administration of the state faced criticism for mishandling the second wave of the pandemic. It was combined with two other big issues that could have easily thwarted the BJP’s chances in this assembly election – unemployment, and farmers’ protest over three agricultural laws. But Yogi Adityanath’s administration decided to overcome the criticism through its performance only, as suggested by the data available. And the image of the SP being a party supporting ‘gunda’ and ‘mafia’ elements only further added ammunition to the BJP’s election campaign. The Yogi administration ensured that the effects of the social welfare sc...
