This is not entirely an experiment of the Gujarat model, but a glimpse of it is visible. When the BJP formed the government for the second time in Uttar Pradesh, half of the new ministers were made. Some ministers did not contest and some lost, while 20 of the remaining ministers were not given a chance this time. In this way, out of 52 ministers, half are such ministers, who were not in the previous government. In this way, even after Yogi became the Chief Minister, the BJP was successful in getting the message of being a new government. BJP’s formula of removing old ministers and making new ministers is old. But the surprise is about those names, whose ministers were supposed to be fixed.
Like Shrikant Sharma, Siddharth Nath Singh and Neelkanth Tiwari. These three were ministers and all three represent Mathura, Prayag and Varanasi respectively. Shrikant Sharma and Siddharth Nath Singh have lived in Delhi and were the national media in-charge and national spokesperson. The most popular face of the Yogi government was also of these two. But both of them got discharged. That is why it is being said that in Modi-Shah’s BJP, it is not right for the leaders to come in much discussion. However, it is also being said that some names have also been cut to balance the list of the central leadership of the party and the list of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. For example, the name of Mahendra Singh and his native Jai Pratap Singh, very close to the Chief Minister, is being cut off. Some ministers went to strike a balance, some left because of allegations and some because of poor performance reports.
