Lucknow: Creating history, Yogi Adityanath is all set to take oath as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister for a new term in office after completing a full five-year term, a feat none of his predecessors has been able to achieve. The Yogi Adityanath government, which begins its second term today (March 25, 2022), will focus on youth, education, health, women, employment generation, and infrastructural development.
According to sources, these policies will consolidate BJP’s socio-political positioning, ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks a third consecutive term. BJP sources said that the party is expected to put the non-Yadav OBC and Dalit ranks on a high priority index in a bid to consolidate the two communities.
Keeping 2024 Lok Sabha polls in mind, it’s important for the party to build a solid foundation. With this in mind, the new Cabinet is being formed. Women can be given more than 10 per cent representation in the cabinet.
