Lucknow. Bhupendra Chaudhary, Panchayati Raj Minister of Yogi government, took charge of BJP state president on Monday. In the evening after the program organized at the party headquarters, he reached his official residence to meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and then Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya. It is also being seen to add to this meeting that he must have talked to the CM about leaving his department.
Actually, BJP has the principle of one person, one post. According to this, after becoming the state president, it is certain that Chaudhary will be removed from the responsibility of Panchayati Raj Minister. When the outgoing president Swatantradev Singh was given the command of the state organization about three years ago, he was the transport minister in the first term of the Yogi government. After some time he left the ministerial post.
Now after winning the 2022 assembly elections, Swatantradev has been made Jalshakti Minister in Yogi Sarkar-2.0. Due to this, he had submitted his resignation letter to the national president JP Nadda a few days ago, but he was asked to take over the business till the appointment of the new president. On Monday, he handed over the charge to the new president. Now soon Bhupendra Chaudhary will resign from the post of minister.
Along with this, there is also speculation that who will be given this important department now? There is a possibility that this department should be given to the Deputy Chief Minister Maurya, who is handling the responsibility of the Rural Development Department. It is also discussed that the Chief Minister himself can keep this department with him.
