The suspense on who will lead India’s largest state got over today after the BJP picked Yogi Adityanath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
Mahanth Yogi Adityanath (born Ajay Singh Bisht ; 5 June 1972) is 5th time Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur Constituency, Uttar Pradesh. He is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament who has represented Gorakhpur in the Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian Parliament) since 1998.
Adityanath is the Mahant or head priest of the Gorakhnath Mutt, a Hindu temple in Gorakhpur, following the death of his spiritual “father,” Mahant Avaidyanath in September 2014. He is also the founder of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, a social, cultural and nationalist group of youth who seek to provide rightist Hindu platform.
The decision was taken after a meeting at 4 PM at Lok Bhawan that saw central observers – Union Minister Shri M Venkaiah Naidu and national General Secretary Shri Bhupendra Yadav, BJP vice-president Shri Om Mathur, State party Chief Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya and other senior party leaders in full attendance.
