UP Assembly Polls: CM Yogi Adityanath Files Nomination From Gorakhpur Urban Seat
Uttar Pradesh 2022 (CM Yogi Adityanath)
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday filed nomination from the Gorakhpur Urban assembly seat in presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
After a rally, Shah and Adityanath went to the collectorate office for submission of papers for the election.
Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and BJP UP president Swatantradev Singh were also present at the district collectorate office on the occasion.
CM Adityanath is fighting the assembly election for the first time. He had represented the Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat for five times in the past.
Gorakhpur Urban seat will go to vote in the sixth phase on 3 March.
Earlier in the day, Yogi and Shah also addressed a meeting of party workers.
"BJP is the biggest organisation in the world. In 2017, the party formed the government in UP. In 2019, when the SP-BSP alliance was formed, political analysts had written off BJP, but under the guidance of Amit Shah, the Mahagathbandhan failed. There is no negative feedback from UP people about the BJP government," CM Adityanath was quoted in a HT report as saying.
