News Desk: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said that he is confident of coming back and said that BJP will surpass its 2017 seat tally of 312 and win between 325 and 350 seats.
He said “I am totally confident about coming back. I understand the political dynamics of UP very well, as I have been in active state politics for the past 23 years. I am confident about the political understanding and maturity of UP electorate”
“We will surpass our 2017 seat tally of 312. We will win between 325 and 350 seats” he added.
When asked about the ability of a head priest to run a large state like Uttar Pradesh, he said “How can you cage or limit a bhagwa wearing yogi to only religion? How I worship is my right. But for my country, for my society, what I have to do and how I have to do, is my prime responsibility”
“I have been working on this before I became the CM; only now my area of work has got enlarged. But I have never made an attempt to project myself as I believe in teamwork. I am working in the direction of rapidly developing my state and my country” he added.
While the BJP’s election campaign in the state is up and running, the opposition, which is fragmented, has been slow to get theirs going. The opposition has a crisis of credibility, said Adityanath, but given the complexity of the state and the ever-changing caste equations, he is taking no chances – something evident in the recent cabinet expansion.
