As Yogi Adityanath is a Chief Minister of UP, he also takes care of several other ministries that are around 36 ministries including Home, Housing, Revenue, Food, and Civil Supplies, Food Security and drug administration, stamp and registry, Town and country planning department, Economics and statistics, Mines and Minerals, Flood control, vigilance, prison, general administration, secretariat administration, personnel, and appointment, information, institutional finance, planning, urban land, estate department, UP state reorganisation committee, administration reforms, programme implementation, Relief and Rehabilitation, national integration, Rent Control, infrastructure, coordination, language, external aided project, Public Service Management, Consumer protection, weights, and measures. In his second innings, UP CM Yogi Adityanath is emerging out of his previous image into a more robust and also inclusive administrator, doing politics of larger significance. There is one aspect of Yogi that has not changed in the five years and beyond. And that is his image of a saffron-clad Hindutva leader. Yogi does not want to change this. He does not need to be bigger through change. He needs to add to his cultivated image. And he is doing that. A state with 22 crore people and 80 Lok Sabha seats, is one of the very crucial political pieces in India's electoral puzzle. With a history of producing many Prime Ministers for the country, the State has given yet another prospect for the Prime Minister's office, in the post-Modi era in the form of Yogi Adityanath. You have in your hands the first definitive biography of a monk who has become the Chief Minister of the most populous state of India.
