In the assembly elections, BJP has won a landslide victory by winning 273 out of 403 seats in UP. With this, BJP has broken the record of 37 years. For the second time in a row, a party has formed an absolute majority government. Before this, the Congress made a strong comeback in the 1985 assembly elections after 1980. After this 37 years passed, but no party could form the government again.
Hindutva agenda will be worshiped in 27 thousand temples
BJP has left no stone unturned to make the swearing-in historic. For 2024, the party is moving towards giving more edge to its core agenda Hindutva. This is the reason that before the oath, workers will worship in the morning in 27 thousand temples of the state. In Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura, there will be worship and conch shell in the temples from morning itself. The swearing-in will also be telecast live on more than 200 screens in the CM’s city of Gorakhpur.
Watch 2024 from the grand show of swearing-in
Along with the grand show of Yogi’s swearing-in, BJP will also start the Maha Abhiyan 2024 in UP. Therefore, keeping in mind the 80 seats of the state, all the equations have been made. There was a lot of confusion in the BJP to decide the name of the cabinet. Yogi himself has lived in Delhi for two days. There were many meetings with Shah-Nadda. The caste and regional equation will be taken care of.
Historic oath-taking of a massive victory
After the massive victory in UP, the swearing-in will also be historic. About 70 thousand people are expected to participate in it. People have been called from every assembly of the state. This is probably the first program for the swearing-in of the Chief Minister on such a large scale.
