Yogi Adityanath’s proactive approach surprises many: Amid talk of rift, CM moves ahead of party in UP bypoll preparations | Lucknow News

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has taken the lead in preparations for upcoming byelections to 10 assembly seats, expected to be held later this year. He has formed a team of ministers to look after preparations even before the BJP organisation has started its own groundwork.
This proactive approach has surprised many but analysts believe the outcome of the bypolls, after the party’s lacklustre showing in the Lok Sabha elections, will have a direct impact on Yogi’s image, and hence he is leading from the front.At the first meeting of 16 ministers, he tasked them with winning all 10 seats.
Although the appointments have been made in consultation with the UP BJP leadership, including its chief Bhupendra Chaudhary and general secretary (organisation) Dharampal Singh, insiders emphasise that Yogi’s decision to form the team should be seen as a proactive approach to improve BJP’s tally. A couple of days after Yogi put the ministers in charge, BJP held a meeting and appointed its own in-charges. Analysts believe the bypolls will be a litmus test for Yogi’s governance and UP BJP’s organisational strength. It will also provide an opportunity to quell rumours of differences between the govt and organisation in UP before central leadership takes action in view of the LS poll debacle.
Yogi’s proactiveness is evident as he has not only appointed the ministers in charge but has also taken stock of the situation in these seats after receiving feedback from ministers. BJP is not in a comfortable position in the 10 seats where bypolls are to be held if one goes by its performance in the 2022 assembly polls. Of the 10 seats, Samajwadi Party had 5, BJP had 3, and its alliance partners NISHAD Party and RLD had one each.
