UP Chunav 2027: Will the path to power be decided from Western UP? CM Yogi’s 24-hour ‘master plan’ in Ghaziabad

The chessboard for the 2027 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh has already started to be laid. Taking a lesson from the Lok Sabha election results, Bharatiya Janata Party and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are no longer in a mood to take any risk. CM Yogi Adityanath himself has taken charge of controlling ‘Western Uttar Pradesh’, which is considered the key to power in UP. His recent visit to Ghaziabad is not just a government program but is being considered as a conch sound for ‘Mission 2027’.

CM Yogi’s 24-hour ‘Chakravyuh’ in Ghaziabad

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s visit to Ghaziabad was very intensive and strategic. A unique confluence of development and politics was seen in his 24-hour visit from July 17 to July 18. CM gifted development projects worth about Rs 868 crore to Ghaziabad. With this, the government has made it clear that the infrastructure of Western UP is among its top priorities. He gave a strong message regarding law and order in the district and also stayed overnight in the PWD guest house to closely observe the ground reality. In the silence of the night, he took the pulse of the election by holding a closed-door meeting with local public representatives and organization officials.

Kanwar Yatra and mathematics of faith

The Chief Minister held a high-level meeting at Ghaziabad Collectorate regarding the upcoming Kanwar Yatra. He gave strict instructions to the officials regarding security and facilities. It is noteworthy that Kanwar Yatra in Western UP is not only a matter of law and order, but also a big cultural and political issue. On the morning of July 18, the second day of the tour, CM Yogi performed Jalabhishek at the historical Siddhapeeth Dudheshwarnath temple. This worship of him just before the beginning of Sawan is a big message for the Hindus of entire Western UP. By combining cultural nationalism and faith with development, BJP is trying to further strengthen its traditional vote bank.

Why is Western UP important?

Political experts believe that the path to power in UP passes through western Uttar Pradesh only. This intensive visit of CM Yogi in Ghaziabad proves that BJP does not want to leave any stone unturned regarding the upcoming assembly elections. By emphasizing on the flurry of development works and religious events, Yogi Adityanath has signaled to the opposition that he is preparing for 2027 with full confidence. Now it has to be seen how effective this ’24-hour maze’ of CM proves to be in the elections.
