Keshav Prasad Maurya News: An interesting slogan in Uttar Pradesh politics is in discussion these days, ‘2017 will be repeated in 2027’. Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya is repeatedly repeating the slogan. In different references from different forums. But why the deputy CM is deliberately postponing 2022, talking about 2017 only.
In fact, in 2017, the BJP formed the government with a strong majority in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. At that time the state president of the party was Keshav Maurya himself. He had a major contribution to electoral strategy and social engineering. The BJP had made a big penetration in the backward classes on Maurya’s face and achieved historical success in the election.
On the other hand, the 2022 election was not individually successful for Maurya. He himself lost the Pallavi Patel election on Sirathu seat. At the same time, the electoral leadership was completely in the hands of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Keshav Maurya’s role in the organization was also limited. So when Maurya talks about repeating 2017 in 2027. So it is not just about the election results but also the role of the leadership that he got in 2017 and not in 2022.
The deputy CM repeatedly wants to remind that his organizational and social strategy was important in the historic victory of 2017 and if he becomes the state president again, if the party wins in 2027, he can firmly stake his claim to the post of CM.
Does Maurya want to become a ‘face’ again for 2027?
Political sources believe that Maurya once again wants to come in the role of leadership like 2017. His slogan is a message in a way ‘Repeat 2017 in 2027’. They want to tell the BJP workers that if the party again hands over the command of the organization to them, then they can win the 2017 win.
Keshav Maurya can be made state president
It is reported that the party leadership may soon make Maurya the state BJP president. According to sources, it can be officially announced anytime after 13 July. If this happens, it will be a return for Maurya in a role like 2017.
