Why Yogi Adityanath Is Not An Appropriate Candidate For Prime Minister?

Yogi Adityanath is the name recognized across the nation, although his birth name is Ajay Singh Bisht. At the age of 26, he became one of the youngest Members of Parliament (MPs) in India. Prior to this, in the early 1990s, he participated in the Ayodhya Ram Mandir movement and became a disciple of Mahant Avaidyanath, the chief priest of the Gorakhnath Math in Gorakhpur. In 2017, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved a significant majority in Uttar Pradesh, leading to Yogi Adityanath's appointment as Chief Minister. 

According to the Mood of the Nation surveys conducted by India Today, Yogi Adityanath consistently ranks among the most popular and approved Chief Minister's throughout India. 

Currently, there is a growing sentiment across the nation for Yogi Adityanath to assume the role of Prime Minister; however, there are certain aspects he must address and learn before he can fulfill such a position. 

No Effective Collaboration with Other States: Since  day one he kept talking about how he dealt with mafias and the survival of Hindutva. However, serving your own state undoubtedly establishes a precedent for a nation, but does Adityanath realize that apart from these two there are other multiple issues that need to be sorted out, such as increasing vacancies, bringing up the investments, increasing teacher recruitment, developing or creating jobs? Never seem to be sustaining relations with the leaders who are more experienced than him. What happens if one day you need assistance from other states and they refuse to provide it? Especially in the states where the opposition rules. He was never seen praising any other leader apart from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.  A lack of collaboration and communication, while solely existing in your realm, will never serve as a solution for any leader.

Bulldozer Action cannot be implemented every time: As a Prime Minister, it is crucial to discern when, where, and what actions are necessary. Adityanath, often referred to as "Bulldozer baba," somewhat embodies a personality marked by impatience. He must recognize that delivering justice does not equate to demolishing someone's home with a bulldozer.

Research conducted by organizations including Amnesty International and independent scholars observing state-driven evictions indicates that Uttar Pradesh accounts for a notable percentage (often surpassing 30%) of targeted violations of housing rights and punitive demolitions in India, frequently displacing hundreds of families. 

Less Experience in National-Level Administration: Although he has been the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, has not occupied significant roles within the Union government, which entails distinct challenges related to foreign policy, defense, and the management of the national economy. 

Global Status: The Uttar Chief Minister is not a well-known personality globally or widespread in popularity on an international level; he commands a substantial and deeply divided support base within India. Yogi Adityanath's governance strongly appeals to domestic voters; however, it does not effectively convert into global diplomacy or international relations.   

Leader with a fiery temper: Yogi Adityanath appears to adopt an aggressive stance when addressing various issues; however, he seems to overlook the fact that every action he takes garners attention on both national and international stages. Therefore, he must recognize the importance of promoting himself in a manner that attracts the interest of international media. 

Geopolitics matter: The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh must clarify his vision. There are several countries with a Muslim majority, and his statements and actions in India could raise reasonable concerns among international leaders, potentially leading to a substantial impact on India.

Speeches: Yogi Adityanath's speeches often resemble warning rather than direct communication with the public. His statements leave listeners pondering what may come next. A leader should focus on discussing their accomplishments, achievements, and, most importantly, the changes aimed at improving the state's situation. However, despite his speeches, he frequently concludes with, "If this occurs, we will take this action."

Under the Adityanath administration, there has been substantial improvement in infrastructure and connectivity: the Uttar Pradesh government has increased the state's expressway network from two to ten, featuring key initiatives such as the Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, and Ganga Expressways. Considerable advancements have also been achieved in major projects like the Jewar International Airport and the Defense Industrial Corridor. 

Should Adityanath serve as law minister in India? Here are some reasons:

Improved law and order in Uttar Pradesh.

Infrastructure development and investment growth.

Strong administrative control

Widespread popularity among a large section of voters

Efforts focused on the women's security and safety of women

Fast-Track Courts 

India is performing admirably on the global stage; however, the question of who will be the next Prime Minister has pop up the interest of not only us but also international nations. A leader must cultivate both favorable and unfavorable relationships with all political entities. While promoting Hindutva ideology may be beneficial, but it alone will not ensure a successful path forward. He may be a leader of capable of serving Indians, yet he is not prepared to the position of Prime Minister. Every action taken by India is being closely monitored by the world.
