The news of enmity between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister CM Keshav Prasad Maurya remains in the headlines. But on Sunday, such a statement came from KP Maurya about CM Yogi, after hearing which it can be said that now the dispute between the government and the organization has calmed down. Actually, by-election is to be held on Majhawan assembly seat of Mirzapur. In this connection, Keshav Prasad Maurya was addressing BJP workers here on Sunday.
In his address, Keshav Prasad Maurya praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. While listing the achievements of the central and state governments, he said, ‘There is a BJP government in the country as well as in the state. You also know and believe that our double engine government is doing the best work in the history of independent India. Is there any other leader like PM Modi in the world… and is there any other Chief Minister like Yogi Adityanath in the country? The most powerful and influential leader in the world is our PM Modi and when all the Chief Ministers in the country are compared, the best work is being done under the leadership of CM Yogi Adityanath.’
In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections 2024, the BJP was reduced to half the seats in Uttar Pradesh as compared to 2014 and 2019. After this, there was a dispute between the state BJP government and the party organization over fixing the responsibility for the defeat. In the UP BJP executive meeting held in Lucknow, Keshav Prasad Maurya had said in front of BJP national president JP Nadda that the organization is bigger than the government. This was considered a target on CM Yogi in a way. After this, many BJP MLAs and ministers had complained that the party workers are being neglected at the government level, due to which there is resentment among them.
At the same time, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had said that ‘overconfidence’ was the main reason behind the setback in the Lok Sabha elections. After this, a debate started whether the government is bigger or the party organization. Both Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak were summoned to Delhi. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also visited the national capital. Speculations started that there could be a leadership change in UP. But the BJP made it clear that the 2027 assembly elections will be fought under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath. Also, Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak were advised to avoid making anti-government statements and remain united.
Keshav Maurya’s latest statement indicates that the BJP high command has largely succeeded in resolving the internal strife going on in UP. Both the Deputy Chief Ministers are now seen in every meeting with CM Yogi. They are seen talking to each other on public platforms. Let us tell you that recently Yogi Adityanath has completed 7 years of his tenure as UP CM. This is a record in the political history of Uttar Pradesh. Before Yogi, no Chief Minister of UP remained in office for seven consecutive years.
