Yogi Adityanath achieves new milestone, becomes longest-serving Uttar Pradesh CM
India TV NewsLucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has scripted a new milestone by becoming the longest-serving CM in the history of the North Indian state, overtaking the likes of Mulayam Singh Yadav, his son Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati. It is interesting to note here that Mayawati has taken the oath for the CM's post four times, and Mulayam Singh Yadav has been sworn in for three times, yet they were unable to break Sampurnand and Adityanath's records. Second consecutive term in UP Adityanath is among the leaders who have led their party to a second consecutive term in the state, breaking the 37-year-old record held by Congress leader Narayan Dutt Tiwari, who was sworn in as CM for the second time in the undivided Uttar Pradesh for a second time in 1985. Since the formation of Uttarakhand, Adityanath has been the first Chief Minister of the state to secure power for a second consecutive term.
