Yogi Adityanath offered BJP President post!

The eagerness to remove Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from Uttar Pradesh has started appearing among the top BJP leaders as well as in the Sangh. In view of the political history of UP, there has been a discussion on calling Yogi to Delhi. According to sources, in the meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Monday (9 June), Yogi was offered the BJP President post.

It is worth noting that this offer has been made by Amit Shah and not by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is being said that PM Modi himself did not want to give this proposal to Yogi, Which is why Shah was brought forward. The relationship between Yogi Adityanath and Amit Shah is well known. The talks of differences between the two have been going on for a long.

Political History

Sources mentioned many reasons for removing Yogi from UP. First, if we look at the political history of the state, we will find that no Chief Minister has been able to complete two consecutive terms here. Be it Kamlapati Tripathi, Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna, Narayan Dutt Tiwari, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Kalyan Singh, or CB Gupta. Among these, Kamlapati Tripathi was the only one who had completed three years of the second consecutive term. After that, he also departed.

Now Yogi is in his second term. The next assembly elections in UP are to be held in 2027. So, stop Yogi from changing the history of the state, the top-level exercise to remove him has gained momentum. If experts are to be believed, the top leaders of BJP see the political power of UP will increase further in the future.

Concern Of Immense Power

After the proposed census, caste census, and delimitation process in the country, it is estimated that the Lok Sabha seats in UP will increase from 80 to 131, while Assembly seats from the current 403 to 580. Meaning, with the energy of 131 Lok Sabha and 580 Assembly seats, is what the Chief Minister of UP will mean for national politics.  This thought is also considered to be a reason for clipping Yogi's wings.

The BJP leadership would never want the power of any other political leader of the party to start challenging the power of PM Modi. However, there is no such indication from Yogi's words and actions, which reflects his political ambition. Once or twice, he has also said that being a disciplined worker, he is 'only' fulfilling the responsibilities given by the party with full loyalty. He is also looking at his departure from politics at some point of time. Despite this confession, the BJP leadership does not want to make a mistake in its assessment and decision regarding Yogi.

Sangh Also Interested

Although Yogi is loyal to Sangh and is dedicated to its ideology, but makes his own decisions in governance, whereas other BJP leaders, ministers, and chief ministers listen to Sangh and take its suggestions and recommendations on priority and implement them. But this is not the case with Yogi. He has been avoiding favouring Sangh people through appointments, recruitment, or government contracts. Because he has his own parallel 'universe'. Yogi insists on adjusting his own people in the government. This is what bothers Sangh. Therefore, instead of openly opposing Yogi, Sangh has started supporting the mindset of BJP leadership. There is a consensus between the leadership of both organizations that Yogi should be stopped from becoming more powerful in any way. Otherwise, the fame gained by Modi due to the attack on Pakistan, Operation Sindoor, etc. may fade in front of Yogi.

The dilemma of Sangh is that on what basis should it oppose Yogi who is ideologically with it. Hence, it has adopted the strategy of - Pappu, you keep moving ahead, we are with you. This means, Kaar-Seva with a show-off.

This attitude of the Sangh has been clearly visible for some time now. Due to this, factionalism has grown rapidly in various cells of Yogi including IT and media. The tussle between the Sangh supporters and Yogi supporters has started coming out in the open. Media is being used to create an atmosphere against the members of Yogi's team and his advisors. The Yogi camp is also not wasting time in reacting to the action.

Tussle Hints Change

Due to internal conflicts, the discussion of making Yogi the BJP president has gained momentum. Although BJP leaders, state ministers, and officers are keeping mum on this issue, professionals working in the Chief Minister's Office are giving indications of Yogi's departure to Delhi. Because they are seeing that DIG Shishir Singh, who was working in CMO for about five years, was suddenly removed. Likewise, an inquiry was initiated against a CM's media advisor, and a press release regarding this was also issued. Professionals are considering these developments as the result of the atmosphere created against Yogi in Delhi and Nagpur.

Law and order derailed

One of the main reasons for Yogi's removal from the post of Chief Minister is the derailment of law and order again. Although this is shocking information in the context of UP, the reality is that criminals have started raising their heads again in the state. It is true that there has been a significant decrease in crimes related to women, but major crimes like assault, murder, and gang war have increased rapidly.

It is usually seen that a new Chief Minister in a state is successful in curbing crime for the first 3-4 years, but after that, the situation slowly starts getting out of control. This is what is being seen in Yogi Raj. The famous gangsters of the state have been wiped out, but the elimination of a big mafia has given an opportunity to ten small-time goons and criminals to flourish.

For this reason, the graph of crime is continuously increasing. These criminals have started extortion business in almost every city. They have also made a strong Jugaad to carry out their work without any hindrance. Put BJP or Yogi's flag on their vehicles and carry out the activities. Due to this Jugaad, the criminals are escaping from getting caught by the police. This activity has increased rapidly in the last one and a half years.
