It's not going to be simple to replace the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. According to a source, the central leadership was contemplating a change after the party's recent defeat in the parliamentary elections. The Chief Minister pointed out that overconfidence and poor candidate selection were to blame for the loss. He also emphasized that the central leadership took the lead and the election was fought primarily in the name of the Prime Minister. Therefore, he shouldn't be solely held accountable. The central leadership is also wary of upsetting the upper caste. Additionally, the removal of Vasundhara Raje and not granting a ticket to V. K. Singh has already reduced Rajput support. According to a source, replacing Yogi or moving him to a different role would divide the party. These factors are all in Yogi's favour, making it challenging to reassign him source says.
