Answer: Shri Yogi Adityanath

Yogi Adityanath is an Indian Hindu monk and politician. He was born Ajay Singh Bisht on June 5, 1972. Since March 19, 2017, he has been the 21st Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.

Following the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2017 State Assembly elections, in which he was a prominent candidate, he was named the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh on March 26, 2017. He, once more, won the state assembly elections in 2022, becoming Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister for a second time and making history by becoming the first chief minister to return to power after serving a complete five years in office. From 1998 to 2017, he served five terms in a row as a member of the Lok Sabha for the Uttar Pradesh district of Gorakhpur before resigning to take office as chief minister.

In addition, since Mahant Avaidyanath, his spiritual “father,” passed away in September 2014, Adityanath has served as the mahant (Head Priest) of the Gorakhnath Math, a Hindu monastery in Gorakhpur. In addition, he founded the Hindu nationalist group Hindu Yuva Vahini. He portrays himself as a right-wing populist and a Hindutva nationalist.

Adityanath maintained direct control over 36 ministries after being elected chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, including those for the departments of Home, Housing, Town and Country Planning, Revenue, Food and Civil Supplies, Food Security and Drug Administration, Economics and Statistics, Mines and Minerals, Flood control, Stamp and Registry, Prison, General Administration, Secretariat Administration etc.

  Recent NCRB data has revealed that crimes against women and children have significantly reduced under the Yogi Adityanath administration.
