RSS Warms Up to Yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat have been meeting more often and working together.
Yogi has been focusing on development in his state, and the RSS seems to be supporting him.
However, Yogi is not a traditional insider of the RSS or BJP, which might make it harder for him to become a national leader like Prime Minister Modi.
He has to win the next state election and deal with challenges within his own party.
The RSS's support could help him, but he still has many boxes to tick before he can think about becoming the next prime minister.
RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath had a 90-minute one-on-one meeting in Ayodhya.
The RSS has been holding meetings with Yogi's ministers to understand the government's initiatives and priorities.
Yogi Adityanath is not a traditional insider of the RSS or BJP, which might make it harder for him to become a national leader.
Yogi has been focusing on development in Uttar Pradesh, with investments worth Rs 12 lakh crore since 2018.
Yogi's immediate challenge is the next UP Assembly election in 15 months, with detractors within the BJP and opposition parties to contend with.
