After he won the first election, storming Yogi started a youth wing of his own, known as Hindu Yuva Vahini which is a non-political nationalist organization who works to restore the great pride of mother Bharti by creating awareness and unity among masses. This social wing has a remarkable role to play in the rise of Yogi Adityanath.

With his unique oratory and presentation skills, he is able to attract all kinds of listeners and hypnotize their eyeballs. He always used to raise issues in the Parliament and was quite vocal about people’s rights and grievances. 

While talking about the issues, it would happen sometimes that his opponents who used to remain silent on Triple Talaq issues or any other major issue of national interest would jump to interrupt him, but without bothering the interruptions, he would continue to make his points with alacrity or at times would shut their mouths with his superman type of response.

Yogi Adityanath: A Hindutva Mascot and Controversy's Favorite Child; Look at Some of His Top Controversies

He is often regarded as the controversy king. Various controversies that are related to the CM of Uttar Pradesh are listed below:

1. Uttar Pradesh is considered as one of the most populated Muslim states in India. It is currently home to 16% of India's population with is 219,722,687 and among whom 79.7 are Hindus, 19.3% Muslims and 1 % others. He has been very vocal about rights of the majority which have been compromised largely by previous governments.

2. He has taken the tough stand on the issue of “love jihad” and confronted Mulayam Singh Yadav openly for his prejudices and even asked him to go to Pakistan. 3. He compared the famous Bollywood star, Shah Rukh Khan to Hafiz Saeed for his opportunistic behavior and said:

If a “huge mass” of people in the country would boycott his films then he would also have to wander on streets like a “normal Muslim.”

It must be noted that on the occasion of his 50th birthday, King Khan reportedly expressed his opinion on rising intolerance in the country and his notion was focused indirectly towards PM Modi. 4. As a Hindutva mascot and controversy’s favorite child Yogi Adityanath never bothered about his image and always took strong stand wheresoever required. 

On International Yoga Day when some Muslim groups who have the tendency to find religion in everything opposed Surya Namaskar as part of yoga drill, then he replied:

Those opposing ‘Yoga’ and ‘Surya Namaskar’ should either leave India or drown in the sea.

Despite All Such Controversies, He Continues to Enjoy his Limelight

The new CM has hit the ground running and is making more or less the right noises. Most of the political pundits, so-called intellectuals, senior anti-national journalists and opposition leaders have shown their dismay over the elevation of the monk to the post of CM. Such media rarely tell that recently, yogi had helped solve a dispute over a Mosque land, such facts clearly show that Yogi has been wrongly painted as anti-muslim by biased media. But those who know him closely, claims that he is very soft-hearted who embraces people from all religions.

He never supported caste politics however still all caste supports him.

In Reality, those are not Controversies But his Groundbreaking Work which Makes Yogi Adityanath So Popular

1. “Keep chanting Yogi’s name, if you wanted to stay in Gorakhpur” this slogan doesn’t mean that he rules by force or follows gundaraj but his name can be used against all mafias and criminals as he successfully maintained the law and order of Gorakhpur along with the neighboring regions, and now as CM he is extending the same to whole UP.
2. He even used to organize a Janta Darbar, where common people come with their issues. He listened to them and tried to solve the issues by taking required actions immediately. 
3. Any kind of dishonesty, corruption or fraudulence is not tolerated by Yogi and he is very strict to his actions. 
4. Guru Gorakhnath hospital is personally looked after by Yogi Adityanath and he always makes sure that there is honesty, goodwill and patients are treated and cured at very minimal charges.
5. His ideology and strong beliefs are what makes him a man of high energy. He believes in making life easier for the poor, women and the disadvantaged people.
6. He was the founder of the cultural, social and nationalist group of young people, “the Hindu Yuva Vahini”. The HYV was active in villages of Gorakhpur, Devaria, Basti, and Ghazipur.
7. 
   

Apart from a number of factors such as backing from RSS and VHP members to Hindu Godmen and a vocal Hindutva agenda had helped him to win the crown of Uttar Pradesh. He is a dedicated party worker and has been elected as an MP for a consecutive five times through his political presence on the large picture had always been dormant.

Yogi Adityanath as Uttar Pradesh CM: Bold decisions that stirred the state

A number of steps were taken by him after being appointed as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. All the slaughterhouses that were functioning illegally were made to close down. He ordered the formation of ‘anti-Romeo’ squads which were greatly appreciated by the women of the state. A blanket ban was imposed on the smuggling of cows. 

He banned the consumption of gutka, tobacco, and pan when within the premises of government offices. The officials have been made to promise that they will devote hundred hours every year for the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan’. More than a hundred policemen got suspended by the police of Uttar Pradesh after Yogi Adityanath came to power. 

The first cabinet meeting after his coming to power was held on 4th April 2017. In this meeting, it was decided that the loans of approximately eighty-seven lakh marginal and small farmers of Uttar Pradesh will be waved off. This amounted to a sum of Rs. 363.59 billion.

Yogi Adityanath is a politician with the ‘Hindutva’ image. Even though he is the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, there have been several controversies lurking around in his life history. However most of experts believe that Yogi Adityanath is not anti-muslim but is the victim of biased media’s propaganda, there is whole nexus of pseudo secular media cult who works in association with foreign media who depicts India and its nationalist citizens and reformers in wrong picture otherwise how come he could have been hailed by whole country so lovingly as CM.
