Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya’s Cryptic Post Sparks Speculation of Rift with CM Yogi Adityanath

In a surprising turn of events, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has ignited speculation of internal discord within the state’s ruling BJP. In a cryptic post on social media, Maurya emphasized the primacy of the party organization over the government, stating, “The organization is bigger than the government, the pain of the workers is my pain. No one is bigger than the organization, the workers are the pride.”

Maurya’s remarks come amid a backdrop of meetings with senior BJP leadership in Delhi, including Union Minister and BJP President JP Nadda. These meetings follow the BJP’s disappointing performance in Uttar Pradesh during the recent Lok Sabha elections, where the party secured only 33 out of 80 seats.

The relationship between Maurya and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been under scrutiny, with reports suggesting differences in their working styles contributing to the BJP’s electoral setbacks. Adityanath, in a recent party meeting, acknowledged overconfidence as a factor in the electoral outcome and urged party members to intensify social media engagement to counter rumors and bolster party presence in the state.

Maurya’s opaque statements and strategic meetings have added fuel to ongoing speculation about internal dynamics within the Uttar Pradesh BJP, raising questions about future political alignments and strategies in the crucial state.
