Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gets support from top BJP leaders; Keshav Prasad Maurya faces challenges | India News

BJP leaders have taken a very strict stand on the internal politics of the party unit in Uttar Pradesh. Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s statements and trips to Delhi have created an atmosphere of uncertainty in the state, with opposition parties claiming that Maurya wanted Yogi Adityanath replaced after the BJP’s poor showing in the Lok Sabha elections. On the other hand, BJP state president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary has also submitted a report to the party high command.

Today, as top BJP leaders including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Minister Maurya and deputy party chief Brajesh Pathak met the party’s senior leaders in Delhi, a message was conveyed to those trying to create a split in the party. According to reports, it was conveyed to the state party leaders that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will continue to lead the party even in the 2027 assembly elections.

According to Zee News TV, the BJP central leadership is reviewing the performance of both deputy chief ministers Maurya and Pathak and an organisational restructuring involving both leaders could take place in the coming months. Maurya has also been asked not to speak outside party forums and present his views directly to the party.

Before travelling to Delhi for the NITI Aayog meeting, the Chief Minister conducted a 20-day comprehensive assessment with public representatives from Uttar Pradesh following the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where the BJP suffered major losses. He held extensive analysis meetings with BJP MPs, MLAs and local MLAs from all 18 divisions of Uttar Pradesh to analyse the results.

Both deputy chief ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak were absent from these review meetings chaired by the chief minister. Also, Maurya missed several recent cabinet meetings chaired by Adityanath.
