News India Live, Digital Desk: There is only one thing being discussed in Lucknow these days, “the game of chairs” in the Yogi government. Yes, ever since BJP has got its new state president, a very big news is coming out in hushed tones. It is being said that Yogi Adityanath’s government is not only expanding the cabinet, but UP may also get its third Deputy CM. Think, there are already two Deputy CMs (Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak), so what is the need for a third? The politics behind this is very interesting. Third Deputy CM: Who is that Dalit face? The market of news is hot that for the 2027 elections and to achieve ‘Mission Dalit’, BJP can appoint a Dalit face (SC category) on the chair of Deputy CM. There are many big names in this race. If this happens, it will be a big masterstroke in UP politics. On one side there are Keshav Maurya (OBC) and Brajesh Pathak (Brahmin), while by bringing in a Dalit face, BJP wants to make its fort of ‘social engineering’ absolutely impenetrable. Names like Baby Rani Maurya and Aseem Arun can also be discussed in hushed tones, although the official seal is yet to be given. Who are the frontrunners in the race? Pankaj Singh: It is almost certain that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s son and Noida MLA Pankaj Singh will become a minister. His supporters were waiting for this for a long time. Bhupendra Choudhary: There are full preparations for the “homecoming” of former state president and prominent leader of Jat community Bhupendra Choudhary in the cabinet. After leaving the post of President, it is certain that he will get a ministerial post to maintain his stature. SP’s ‘rebel’ friend: ‘Give and take’ is always the norm in politics. Now the time has come for the rebel MLAs of Samajwadi Party (like Manoj Pandey and Pooja Pal) who had supported BJP in the Rajya Sabha elections. He may also get the red light. Mahendra Singh: Former Jal Shakti Minister Mahendra Singh’s exile may also end. His working style has often been praised. When will the explosion happen? Now the question is when will all this happen? So brother, the news is confirmed that the oath taking ceremony can take place any time after ‘Kharmas’ ends, i.e. after 14-15 January. The list is ready, just waiting for the formal ‘green signal’ from Delhi. At present there are 6 vacancies in Yogi cabinet, and many contenders. It will be interesting to see who wins the lottery and who remains on the “waiting list”.
