Yogi's master plan worked

Due to the master plan of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, 7 Samajwadi Party MLAs did cross voting and Sanjay Seth won. For the last several days, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was making strategies to bring SP MLAs into his fold. For this, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had also given the responsibility to the number 2 ranking minister of his government. Suresh Khanna, Finance Minister was in constant touch with these MLAs and was talking to them.

MLAs Manoj Pandey, Abhay Singh, Rakesh Singh, Pooja Pal, Rakesh Pandey were feeling uncomfortable in Akhilesh Yadav camp. All 9 MLAs wanted to go to the court of Lord Ram in Ayodhya but the policies of Akhilesh Yadav stopped them. When on the invitation of Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana, all the MLAs were invited to go to Ram Darbar. At the same time, these seven MLAs had told CM Yogi and Satish Mahana about going to Ram Darbar in Ayodhya but had also said that they were not going because of the policies of SP. It is from here that CM Yogi prepared the master plan.
