Anand K. Sahay | RSS, BJP & Yogi factor: Key to 2024 lies in UP
The summoning of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath to New Delhi recently in the wake of widespread anxiety being expressed in the state BJP over its Assembly poll prospects in a few months, given the CM’s disastrous Covid-19 management, naturally became a high-profile political event. It didn’t matter that the UP leader had held really long conversations with those at the very top -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah, and BJP president J.P. Nadda. Top-rung BJP politicians who had just days earlier bitterly complained to their high command -- and above all to the RSS bosses -- about Yogi’s general high-handedness, his arrogant mismanagement of the Covid crisis, and his many caste-slanted actions, seemed clueless about what had transpired in Delhi, or preferred to stay quiet if they knew. Evidently, since senior BJP leaders in UP had publicly complained against the CM’s mismanagement and his autocratic style, it wouldn’t have done to keep quiet and do nothing; hence the directive to the CM to go to Delhi to explain himself to the big shots.
