It is noteworthy that there has been a strong focus on law and order, infrastructure development and transparent administration under Chief Minister Yogi’s leadership, His government’s people-friendly schemes like the Ujjwala Yojana, Mukhyamnatri Samuhik Vivah Yojana, and rural electricity and road projects have strengthened public trust.

Additionally, efforts to control crime and restore religious sites have further boosted public’s trust in Chief Minister Yogi’s governance. As a result, the BJP and its ally RLD’s outstanding performance in the Uttar Pradesh by-elections has greatly energised the party.
