Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya.
The political compulsion of Pankaja Munde, Ashok Chavan and Ajit Pawar in the Maharashtra elections is still understandable, but after UP, Keshav Maurya has proven that by avoiding ‘Bintoge to Katoge’ in the Maharashtra elections too, CM Yogi’s slogan It’s yours. It’s my personal motto. and there is no obligation for anyone to necessarily follow it. Even a month ago, Keshav, while refusing to call this slogan the party’s slogan, had called Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas as the party’s authorized slogan and Prime Minister Modi as the party’s authorized leader.
Now, even during the Maharashtra elections, Keshav has repeated the same. Along with Keshav Maurya, senior BJP leaders Rajnath Singh and Shivraj Singh have also distanced themselves from this slogan. Lucknow MP and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said there is no need to divide but the country must remain united. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh said that if we come together, we will win and move forward. All these senior party leaders appear with Prime Minister Modi’s slogan: “If you stay safe, you will be safe.” There is a lot of buzz in the BJP after UP CM Yogi’s slogan ‘Binotge to Katoge’ got support from the Sangh.
This has openly come to the fore in the elections first in Haryana and then in Jharkhand and Maharashtra. If they split, their slogan will be cut, after UP’s two deputy CMs, Keshav Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, now after Lucknow MP and the party’s senior-most leader Rajnath Singh have also distanced themselves, this is a clear message that there is still a universally accepted leader in the country and in Uttar Pradesh. Prime Minister Modi and the party’s motto is “If we remain united, we will be safe.”
If you avoid the motto, will you accept Yogi as your leader?
The biggest talking point in Uttar Pradesh politics right now is: Will deputy CMs Keshav Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, who have distanced themselves from the slogan ‘If you divide, you will be divided’, consider Yogi Adityanath as their leader? There may not be any visible change in the political situation in UP after CM Yogi’s slogan got support from the Sangh, but there are reports of internal conflicts.
After the party’s failure in Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha elections, the discourse of organization versus government began to be created in the BJP. Keshav Maurya had refused to accept CM Yogi’s supremacy, stating that the organization was bigger than the government. He had also said that he and the CM would get the post of CM and deputy CM due to their association with the organisation. Now, if you divide once again, you will be isolated. Keshav is trying to convey the message that Yogi Adityanath is our ally and not our leader. Prime Minister Modi is our leader both at the Center and in Uttar Pradesh.
Party line on PM Modi’s slogan
Lucknow MP and country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has also distanced himself from this slogan. Instead of dividing, they talk about uniting. This statement is also seen as a big message in UP politics. Political analyst K Vikram Rao also believes that most party leaders accept Yogi as a charismatic leader who gathers crowds, but are not willing to accept Yogi ji as their leader. He still considers Prime Minister Modi as his leader and his slogan as the party line.
At present, in this entire political incident, no statement has come out from the party high command nor any attempt has been made to give any message, but this has definitely shocked those people who consider Yogi Adityanath ji as the greatest leader of the party. party after PM Modi. The leaders said so.
However, Keshav Prasad Maurya, who had distanced himself from the slogan, also did a U-turn within a few hours. On Sunday he said that “If we remain united, we will be safe, if we divide, we will be cut off” is a symbol of the unity and determination of all workers. There was no difference of opinion in the BJP, nor is there and will not be. This motto is the voice of the hearts of millions of workers like me. In the end, he also did not forget to say that the motto of the BJP is that if we remain united, we will definitely be safe.
