UP, Politics: Political excitement intensified in UP, Bhupendra Chaudhary met PM Modi, Chief Minister Yogi met Governor Anandiben.
UP, POLITICS: In the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP is in a state of turmoil as it won fewer seats than expected. Meanwhile, reports of infighting in the state BJP are also gaining ground. It is speculated that there are differences of opinion between the state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Kesav Prasad Maurya. Also, UP BJP leader Bhupendra Singh Chowdhury met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday and added to the political excitement. There is a lot of talk in the political circles about this meeting. The meeting comes at a time when speculations about a reshuffle in the party are intensifying in UP. In this case, Chief Minister Yogi Rajbhavan's visit and meeting with Governor Anandiben Patel has created a stir in politics. When Maurya told the party's state executive meeting in Lucknow on July 14, were there differences of opinion between Chief Minister Yogi and Maurya? Bigger than government. His speech created a sensation in the political circles of UP. The statement was seen as an attack on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The biggest thing is that BJP National President JP Natta also participated in this meeting. In this meeting, Chief Minister Yogi also hinted that overconfidence was the reason for the electoral defeat in the state. Chief Minister Yogi had said that the opposition coalition 'India' campaign was not effectively countered. UP is the stronghold of BJP. BJP's landslide victory in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections in UP. But the party's performance in 2024 remains a matter of concern for the BJP. Apart from this, the upheaval in the organization after the election results has also become a major tension for the BJP. In this case, Keshav Prasad Maurya's office has posted on social media that nobody is bigger than the organization, the workers are the pride, leading the opposition parties to sideline the government. In UP politics, especially among the supporters of Chief Minister Yogi, BJP's image has been tarnished. He has pushed the party's Hindutva agenda and maintained a strong grip on law and order. But recent incidents and reports have tarnished the party's reputation in the state. A couple of BJP leaders have admitted that the BJP's status as a decent party has been diminished by the comments of some leaders. In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the 'India' alliance of SP and Congress won 43 of the 80 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state. At the same time, DMDK got only 36 seats. In 2019, the NDA won 64 seats in the state. In this case, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has increased the BJP's tension by posting on the social networking site X. Akhilesh wrote in his post that BJP is getting weaker day by day. A period of conflict and confusion has begun in the party. BJP is divided into camps. Without taking anyone's name, Akhilesh said that a BJP leader rejects the slogan of his own leadership. So, there is no need to go on the back foot, some chiefs are saying that we will make the jumpers sit. He sarcastically said that a puppet game is being played in the BJP to make each other inferior. Everyone's rope is in different hands. The battle that took place behind closed doors has now become public. Now not only locomotives but also coaches collide with each other. Kesav Prasad Maurya's response: Responding to the Samajwadi leader, UP Deputy Chief Minister Kesav Prasad Maurya said that the BJP is strong at the state and national level and will win the UP assembly elections in 2027. Posting on X, he wrote, 'SP Bahadur Shri Akhilesh Yadav Ji, BJP has strong organization and government at national and state level, SP's PDA is a scam. Reversing Samajwadi's hooliganism in UP is impossible, BJP will repeat 2017 in 2027 assembly elections.
