Test ahead for BJP in UP: Subhani Will it blink or tame Yogi? P chief minister Yogi Adityanath was in the national capital last week to discuss political, governance and administrative issues with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union health minister Amit Shah and BJP Upresident J.P. Nadda, to tighten loopholes and raise the BJP’s prospects in the Assembly election due early, 2022. Earlier, complaints were being voiced by BJP leaders in UP, and there were even murmurs that the PM and the CM might not be on the same page. In this backdrop senior BJP and RSS leaders visited Lucknow to take stock and held confabulations in the national capital afterward. There was fevered speculation that the CM may have to be changed. Given all the excitement, the CM’s visit to New Delhi was followed closely, not least because he had very lengthy talks with Mr Modi, Mr Shah and Mr Nadda. It would have become clear to all concerned that the UP CM is not a BJP leader in the normal sense and the usual rules of party discipline do not apply to him. He is the head of a centuries old religious establishment. Politically he is aligned to the Hindu Mahasabha. Hindu Vahini, Adityanath goofed the outfit he created, is a more extreme practition- er of Hindutva than any other outfit. Nevertheless, up on pandemic he has BJP connections because this party has LETTERS management big sent him to Parliament several times and elected time.
