BJP’s poor showing in UP puts spotlight on CM Yogi

Hindustan Times  

In the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the BJP stormed back to power with a decisive mandate, giving the incumbent chief minister Yogi Adityanath a second successive term in a result seen as an affirmation of his staunch Hindutva politics, coupled with stern action against criminals and a determined investment push. Now, with the BJP receiving a drubbing at the hands of the Samajwadi Party -Congress alliance in Uttar Pradesh in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the focus is back on Adityanath, although most leaders who spoke to HT said he remains the party’s tallest leader in the state, and that the party may have paid a price for not giving him enough say in the selection of candidates. Riding on the performance of both the Union and the state governments, the BJP won the 2019 Lok Sabha as well as the 2022 assembly elections. A BJP leader said Adityanath’s role was limited in the selection of candidates, suggesting that this could have played a part in the party’s poor showing in the state.
