Lucknow: Though the assembly election 2022 in Uttar Pradesh is still a few months away, major political parties have started exploring all the options for a possible pre-poll alliance and initiated discussions over who could be their top choice for the chief minister's post. As far as the ruling BJP is concerned, it has categorically ruled out replacing incumbent Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and has thrown its full weight behind him. This implies that the monk-politician will possibly be the main face of the saffron party’s 2022 election campaign.
