Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday filed his nomination from Gorakhpur Assembly constituency, his first in a state assembly election. Union home minister Amit Shah, Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, BJP UP president Swatantradev Singh were present at the district collectorate office. "BJP is the biggest organisation in the world. In 2017, the party formed the government in UP. In 2019, when the SP-BSP alliance was formed, political analysts had written off BJP, but under the guidance of Amit Shah, the Mahagathbandhan failed. There is no negative feedback from UP people about the BJP government," Adityanath said.
Addressing the party workers, Amit Shah said the party is going to repeat the history of 2014, 2017 and 2019. "In 2013, I was made the in-charge of UP. BJP won 73 seats in the Lok Sabha election. In 2017, we bagged more than 300 seats. The foundation of good governance was laid under Yogi Adityanath. Today UP is free from the mafia. Either they are in jail or in the list of the opposition parties."
