Yogi Proving Himself as a Successor of PM Modi?

Update: 2022-04-12 12:38 GMT
Over the years, the largest state in terms of population, Uttar Pradesh became the strong turf of the saffron party Bharatiya Janata Party. The recently concluded general elections are proof of that. Despite heavy criticism over the BJP leadership at the Centre and the communal clashes issue in the state, voters voted for the party.

After the general elections, the state underwent another key election as the Legislative Council elections were held recently for the vacant posts in the Upper House. The results are out and the BJP has shown its power in the polls.

Out of the 36 seats, the BJP had won as many as 33 seats, while nine seats were won unanimously. However, the party faced a major setback as the parliamentary constituency held by PM Modi Varanasi was lost in the Legislative polls.

 Leaving the Varanasi seat, BJP had managed to keep its stronghold in the region. In the previous polls, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had done what no Chief Minister had not in the past three and half decades. He had managed to win two consecutive polls in the state.

With the general polls, Yogi Adityanath had proved his stature as a strong leader and made UP the stronghold of the party. The Legislative Council win is another example of how the BJP is getting even stronger in the state.

This comes at the time when the debate is going on over the successor of Narendra Modi. Many names of Yogi, Amit Shah are coming out and the recent polls prove that Yogi can be considered by the party in the coming future.
