So, when Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in 2017, he was considered to be the youth icon who is here to change the journey of UP.

Even when Yogi Adityananth has been criticized by a section of media and even his political competitors on his tall promises and promoting Hindutva in his political rallies and speeches, it is a well-known fact that monks of Hinduism or any religion usually have the power to do selfless service to humanity as they have understood the concepts of renunciation and importance of sacrificing their wishes to contribute for a larger humanitarian cause.
As a political leader, the duties involve creating policies, monitoring the existing policies, and even running successful political campaigns but the purpose of any democracy is only to create honest and uncorrupted political leaders who work towards the welfare of society.
When Yogi Adityanath’s late father Anand Singh Bisht was interviewed in 2017, he said he considers his son to be his lifetime’s biggest asset over anything else. He continued that he believes in his honest chief minister son. Honesty really pays off, which even the public can notice with his contributions to make the state of Uttar Pradesh a far better one than how it was before his governance.
There is something special in Adityanath, a quality of humility and willingness to learn no matter what age, which is why he visited the country’s renowned educational institution IIM Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh to take lessons in governance and leadership. The UP Chief Minister along with his ministry took part in 2019 in a leadership development program titled Manthan. His idea was to grab the training opportunity from the senior faculty members of the business school so that they can work towards the holistic development of the state.
It is his ability to stay away from material gain and keep his focus completely on the work that he does is that makes him different from other ministers. It was mentioned in his book how he rejected the proposal to get a luxurious car when he took charge for the first time as the Chief Minister and instead, used the 5-year-old vehicle that was used by the earlier government’s minister.
It is noteworthy how he walked the talk of paying taxes and even encouraged the ministers to pay their own income tax just like common citizens of the country. This eradicated the 40 years old practice of the state exchequer giving away money on a yearly basis to pay the income taxes of the UP ministers.
