The pro-active action taken by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in carrying forward development projects in Uttar Pradesh in the last three years has made him the most sought after campaigner in the Bihar elections as the party candidates have requested him to address rallies in their constituencies.
Sources said that the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party had planned his rallies in Patna, Gaya, Nalanda, Siwan, Hajipur, Bhagalpur, Baksar, Bhojpur, Muzaffarpur, Gopalganj and Darbhanga.
“Yogi will also be wooing voters in northern Bihar, Mithilanchal and districts of central Bihar,” a senior government official said.
The UP chief minister was also a popular face during the Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Assam and the 2019 Lok Sabha polls,
Yogi Adityanath is a popular face in Bihar because of his image of being a strict administrator and for his effective handling of the 2019 Kumbh, law and order after the Ram Janmabhoomi judgement of the Supreme Court and thereafter the laying of the foundation stone of the temple and his effective policies of providing employment to lakhs of migrant labourers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Besides his spotless image, people in Bihar also have a lot of reverence for Yogi as the head of the Goraksh Peeth which has lakhs of followers in the state, BJP leader Vijay Bahadur Pathak said.
