Yogi Adityanath has been elected MLA for the first time
This is the first time that Yogi Adityanath has been elected as an MLA. Earlier, he became the Chief Minister for the first time after being elected as a member of the Legislative Council. When BJP won the 2017 assembly elections, the party chose him as the chief minister. After becoming the CM of the state, he placed 36 ministries under his direct control including Home, Economics and Statistics, Sainik Welfare, Home Guards, Personnel and Appointments as well as Civil Defense.
He was the MP of Gorakhpur for five consecutive terms from 1998 to 2017 before taking oath as the Chief Minister of UP in 2017. At the age of 26, Adityanath was the youngest Lok Sabha MP. He is also the head priest of Gorakhnath Math which is a famous Hindu temple in Gorakhpur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always supported him by praising his work as the Chief Minister of UP.
CM Yogi made a new record
PM Modi coined a new slogan on “UP plus Yogi bahut hai howi”. The Gorakhpur Sadar seat has been a BJP bastion, which the party has never lost since 1967, from the days of the Jan Sangh. Continuing the trend, Yogi Adityanath will be the first chief minister to return to power after completing a full term in Uttar Pradesh in the last 37 years.
Not only this, after separating from Uttar Pradesh to form Uttarakhand, Adityanath is the first Chief Minister to return to power. Congress veteran Narayan Dutt Tiwari aka ND Tiwari was the last chief minister of undivided Uttar Pradesh to secure a consecutive term in 1985. After that, now Yogi Adityanath has made a record of becoming the first Chief Minister to retain power in Uttar Pradesh in 37 years.
Adityanath gets the new name of ‘Bulldozer Baba’
In the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, 2022, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who returned to power with a majority slogan against criminals and mafia, has been given the new name of ‘Bulldozer Baba’ by his supporters. Excited by the victory in various parts of the state, including in the state capital Lucknow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary district Varanasi and Yogi’s own constituency Gorakhpur, party workers took out victory processions and raised slogans of ‘Bulldozer Baba Zindabad’ giving the chief minister a new name.
