Keshav Prasad Maurya clashing with Yogi?

All is not well between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya since 2017. Bharatiya Janata Party made Keshav Prasad Maurya the state president of BJP as an OBC face, while gave the post of Chief Minister to Yogi Adityanath. This thing displeased Keshav Maurya. BJP's performance in UP was poor in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Keshav Prasad started distancing himself from the meetings and repeatedly started giving statements that the organization is bigger than the government. According to sources, the matter was resolved due to Delhi's intervention.

Why does Keshav Prasad dream of becoming CM?

A leader associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party organization said, 'Keshav Prasad Maurya is a prominent OBC face of BJP. He was the state president in 2017, when BJP got a historic victory. He is said to be close to Amit Shah. Keshav Prasad Maurya has been feeling a pang in his mind ever since Yogi Adityanath was made the CM in 2017, to fill which the party made him the Deputy CM. Due to the strategy of strengthening the organization before the elections of 2027 and creating the vote bank of backward classes, the speculation about his name increases. Now Keshav Maurya and Yogi Adityanath clash less in public. Keshav Maurya repeatedly talks about respecting the party's decision.
