Modi hopes to break 2014 and 2019 records under Yogi’s leadership
The prime minister hoped of an unexpected victory for the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections attributing it to CM Yogi's commitment to good governance and development.
As the name of Yogi Adityanath was announced as Uttar Pradesh chief minister, celebration began at his native village Panchur in district Pauri. Local people rushed to the home of Adityanath and played traditional drum in celebration of the news.
Yogi was earlier known as Ajay Mohan Bisht and he did his masters in Maths from HNB Garhwal University. The news has thrilled local people. As a friend of the Bisht family, Chander Prakash Lakhera says, it is great news and we are overjoyed with the development.”
Yogi’s father Anand Singh Bisht is flying tomorrow to Lucknow for attending the swearing in ceremony of the new Uttar Pradesh CM. Adityanath is the head priest of the Gorakhnath Mut. He left his native village in 1992 and was declared heir of Mahant Avaidyanath in 1994.
