Does Yogi Adityanath's name entering the fray at last moment hints at RSS intervention?
Post the dawn of the Modi era, much was said and written about the new BJP that was run like a one-man show (or rather two-men
show). Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were considered as the people who pulled the strings. However, the way Manoj Sinha, who was
said to be Modi's pick was sidelined, sends a signal that there could have been a last moment intervention by the RSS to get its man
appointed at the top job.
This brings to mind the question, who really calls the shot in the saffron party.

As speculations around UP CM pick go haywire, two deputy CMs could be the BJPs masterstroke in the game of castes
Given the enormity of BJPs win in the Assembly elections, BJP is worried about proper representation of various castes that voted for
the party. Between Manoj Sinha, Yogi Adityanath, and Keshav Prasad Maurya, the chief minister candidate is likely to come from the
Poorvanchal. However, by naming someone from the western belt and a different caste base from that of the chief ministerial pick, can
help the party accommodate proper representation to all groups.

Just as we had all news channels convinced that Manoj Sinha will indeed be the UP CM and it ws near xed, a sudden surge of
speculations around Yogi Adityanath's name sent news organisations into a tizzy.
Meanwhile, CNN-News 18 reported that the BJP could be mulling to introduce two deputy chief ministers in the state, and KP Maurya
and Dinesh Sharma are considered to be the frontrunners for the post of second-in-command.

In a move that could be read in contrasting lights, BJP observers, M Venkaiah Naidu and Bhubendra Yadav met Yogi Adityanath and
Keshav Prasad Maurya, both of whom are frontrunners in the race to become UP CM.
While some news report, dubbed it as efforts to pacify the two heavy weight leaders who command huge support base in their respective
region, others said it signalled that Yogi Adityanath has re-entered the race to become Uttar Pradesh CM, and might as well be leading
the race.

But what's all the hush about UP CM pick when the saffron party got a thumping win?
The BJP top brass has taken its time to decide on the UP Chief Minister after results were declared on 11 March. The sources said the
party is extra cautious as it is returning to power in Uttar Pradesh after a 15-year hiatus. Moreover, in view of Lok Sabha election in 2019,
BJP cannot afford to take any wrong decision, said some party insiders when asked about the delay in declaring the CM's name.
After a stupendous win in the Assembly election, the party can ill afford to lower its guard. Uttar Pradesh sends 80 MPs to Lok Sabha and
is extremely important in the BJP's scheme of things.
Party insiders said the overwhelming mandate has posed a fresh challenge for the BJP to meet sky-high expectations.

Keshav Prasad Maurya's supporters stage protest in Lucknow, as OBC leader falls behind in race to UP CM
As speculations around Manoj Sinha's name warmed up and BJP state unit chief bowed out of the race, Maurya's supporters were
apparently miffed.
As Maurya consolidated key OBC vote for the saffron party and worked tirelessly for the party's win, their were strong undercurrents
supporting his name for the top job in UP. However, the 10 criminal cases led against him seemed to have got in his way.
As Shah, in a clever political maneuver sidelined Maurya by giving him the responsibility to pick the UP CM, the OBC leader's
supporters couldn't accept the change in wind as poignantly as their leader did.

neither am I in any race. This (the visit to Varanasi shrines) was a prearranged programmes)."
The senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader greeted onlookers and supporters as he walked to the Kaal Bhairav temple. After spending
some time there, he went to the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple and offered prayers at the sanctum sanctorum. He also visited the
Sankatmochan shrine, a Hanumana temple, visiting which is considered lucky for the auspiciou sstart of new things in life.

Newly-elected BJP MLAs in Uttar Pradesh will be meeting in Lucknow on Saturday to elect the leader of the state
legislature party. The meeting will be held at 4 pm at Lok Bhawan, state BJP spokesperson Manish Dixit said. Central
observers Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu and national general secretary Bhupendra Yadav will remain
present at the meeting to elect the chief minister.
BJP vice-president Om Mathur, state party chief Keshav Prasad Maurya and other senior party leaders are also likely to
attend the meet.
"The new Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh along with his Cabinet colleagues would take oath on 19 March at 5.00 pm at
Kanshiram Smriti Upvan," Governor Ram Naik had said in a statement on Friday.
Union Minister Manoj Sinha, Home Minister and former state chief
minister Rajnath Singh, Maurya and eight-time MLA from Shahjahanpur
Suresh Khanna are being projected s the main contenders for the post by
their partymen.
All these leaders in their interactions with the media have played down
their chances.
The BJP is forming government in the politically crucial state after a gap
Representational image. PTI
of 15 years. In the recently-concluded Uttar Pradesh assembly elections,
the party secured 312 seats in a 403-member house, while its allies Apna Dal (Soneylal) and Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj
Party got nine and four seats respectively.
Samajwadi Party bagged 47 seats, while its ally the Congress stooped to its lowest tally with seven seats. Mayawati-led
Bahujan Samaj Party could manage to get only
19 seats in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
With the BJP leadership often springing a surprise with its choice of state leaders like Manohar Lal Khattar in Haryana,
Vijay Rupani in Gujarat and now Trivendra Singh Rawat in Uttarakhand, sources have said that a relatively lesser
known leader cannot be ruled out.
The central observers will most likely inform the MLAs about the BJP top brass' choice which will be subsequently
endorsed at the meeting today.
