श्री योगी आदित्यनाथ जी को उत्तर प्रदेश का मुख्यमंत्री चुने जाने पर हार्दिक बधाई। आपके नेतृत्व में यूपी विकास के नये आयाम स्थापित करेगा pic.twitter.com/cIIaNC8F7N? BJP Uttar Pradesh (@BJP4UP) March 18, 2017
And the last thing that the party would want is to be fire-fighting Uttar Pradesh which is crucial for 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The other front-runners like Manoj Sinha have had limited exposure with the Sangh and almost no popularity outside their native district of Ghazipur.
Even when the BSP and the SP swept Uttar Pradesh in 2007 and 2012 polls, Adityanath did not let Gorakhpur and adjoining areas slip out of BJP's clutches.
"Most of the people thought him to be a brash, outspoken Hindu leader who gave little attention to his own political career, but that was not the case. Over the past couple of years he curbed his natural instinct and established a very close rapport with Amit Shah."
The BJP party president would even campaign for him in Gorakhpur recently.
Unlike the previous Mahants of Gorakhnath Math, who were contended with being MPs from Gorakhpur, Adityanath has allowed no doubt about the fact that he'd set his eyes far and wide.
From the Mayor to MLAs to the bureaucrats, everyone in and around Gorakhpur is known to have been handpicked by Adityanath.
The source added, "BJP minus Adityanath is nothing in Poorvanchal and the party understands it."
