He was, in fact, seen as an outsider in several ways. There were many more obvious claimants, old and new. He was a surprise choice because nobody had until then seen him as a front-runner to don the most prized jewel in the Modi-Shah BJP crown. In five weeks from now, he will complete four years in power. Yogi Adityanath, born Ajay Mohan Bisht in what is now Uttarakhand, became a surprise chief minister of Uttar Pradesh in March 2017. Major mercy: This FIR did not include section 124 of IPC (sedition). With Madhya Pradesh, where Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is now guaranteed to copy everything Yogi does, also filing FIRs against the same journalists over the same tweets. Sure enough, there were copycat strikes too. Most of the political trends were UP-related. Just that the cherry on that cake also was Yogi Adityanath’s police filing that ludicrous FIR under IPC sections as grave as sedition and conspiracy against six senior editors and a prominent politician.Įven the following day, this story dominated that one dimension of media the Modi-Shah BJP is most conscious about: Social media. Find much mention of it? All of that prime real estate in the national mind space was occupied by the farmers’ protests, of course. If Narendra Modi has any competition for national headlines, it comes from his party’s chief minister in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath.Ĭheck out the main headlines on the day the prime minister delivered his carefully crafted address to the annual World Economic Forum session in Davos, held virtually this year.
