Prior to the 2014 General Elections campaigning, Narendra Modi was just like any other Chief Minister. Though few people knew about him, in context to his ‘Development Mantra’, he wasn’t as popular as Rahul Gandhi or other leaders at that time. But the 2014 General Elections campaigning catapulted him onto the big screen. He soon became the face of BJP and was the Prime Ministerial candidate.
Currently, there is no more ‘Modi Magic’ happening. We hardly find Modi creating the same impact, as he did 4 years ago. While Modi is on a downturn, another key leader in the BJP, Yogi Adityanath is on an upturn. Yogi went on to become the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister, despite Modi’s reluctance. Yogi has been largely praised for his governance, and his ability to motivate large crows in public gatherings.
Going by the latest trends, Yogi is the next face of BJP. With Anti-Modi movement strongly heard across the nation, especially from the Southern States, BJP is likely to rope in Yogi Adityanath for election campaigning. The UP CM has already been successful with his promotions in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
Yogi Adityanath will be leading the BJP election campaigning for the Eastern states’elections. Close sources confirmed that Yogi will take part in campaigning in Karnataka. Yogi Adityanath might take over Modi in terms of popularity, and charisma.
