‘Will Fight Election From Wherever The Party Says’

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday confirmed he will contest the upcoming assembly elections, but from which seat will be decided by the party leadership. “I will fight the election from wherever the party says,” Adityanath said when asked whether he will contest from Ayodhya, Mathura, or from his home district Gorakhpur.

Yogi, who is currently a member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council, was interacting with the media here. Asked if there was any work he could not do in his five-year tenure, Yogi said, “Whatever was said, was done. There is no work left for which there should be any regret.” The CM tried to allay concerns apparent among some of the sitting MLAs regarding getting party tickets saying the BJP was a “very big family” and people’s role in it may change with time.

“Every person’s role is different at different times. It is not necessary that one person should always be in the government, sometimes he can also do the work of the organisation,” he said. The CM said COVID-protocol will be followed to the hilt whenever the dates for the election are announced. (ENS)
