Keshav ji is Keshav ji. 325 seats have come under his leadership. Keshav ji has his own charm. The organization is always big. If there is no organization, there will be no MLAs. How will the government be formed. In today's time, the officers are the form of Duryodhan and they will be operated.

Differences between CM Yogi and Keshav Maurya

The dispute between Keshav Prasad Maurya and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is increasing. However, this dispute is not new. The dispute started as soon as Yogi Adityanath became the CM.

He believed that under his presidency, BJP came to power through the non-Yadav OBC vote bank by adding small backward castes, so the CM should be from the OBC community.

Since then, the differences that started between Yogi and Keshav. They kept coming to the fore from time to time. The period of differences between Yogi Adityanath and Keshav Prasad Maurya continued.

There were many such occasions when there was a dispute over the HOD and Principal Secretary of the department.

Even before the 22 assembly elections, Keshav Prasad Maurya took a dig at the Chief Minister and said that the organization is bigger than the government and the government should accept everything the organization says. After Keshav lost from Sirathu in the 2022 elections, the possibility of Keshav having a good relationship with CM Yogi came to an end.

When BJP came to power again in 2022, Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister again. Keshav Prasad Maurya, who lost the election from Sirathu, missed becoming the CM again. The pain of which sometimes comes out.

Distances increased after the Lok Sabha elections

However, he was also present in Delhi during one meeting. Apart from this, when the Chief Minister called an important meeting after the elections, Keshav was also not present in that. After this, the Chief Minister formed a team of ministers for the by-elections on 10 seats, in which both the Deputy CMs did not get a place.
