Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday created a record of sorts by not just breaking the pattern of alternation in the State that had set in three decades ago but also by becoming the first Chief Minister of the State from the BJP to complete a full five-year term. The BJP also increased its vote share in the State from 39.7% in the 2017 Assembly polls to around 42% (counting was still on at the time of writing) in 2022.

As per information from Mr. Adityanath's office, he did 207 rallies and roadshows and even before the announcement of poll dates, visited 90 Assembly constituencies considered "weak" by the BJP. Quite obviously, he has worked hard for this victory, and unlike in 2017, when there was no chief ministerial face for the BJP as it went into polls, this one had him at the helm.
