2022 Assembly elections mandate shows Yogi is king in North and AAP is harbinger of hope

Firstpost  

Yogi Adityanath has emerged as the new hero figure of the right, and Arvind Kejriwal willy-nilly of the centre-left, with significant implications for national politics. Voters overwhelmingly reposed faith in the BJP, scripting a convincing win for the Modi-Yogi ‘double engine’ in Uttar Pradesh and validating ‘Modi magic’ in Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa. Yogi is now the BJP’s most powerful chief minister, the King in the North, which raises the intriguing question of the party’s succession plan and his status as de facto number two. The Punjab Congress paid the price for factional feuds, but the extent of AAP’s victory argues a profound disgust with all the established players.
