Varun Gandhi, Yogi Adityanath, Keshav Maurya or Sangeet Som : Who will be BJP's CM Candidate in 2017 Uttar Pradesh?, Keshav Prasad Maurya, SMRITI IRANI, MAHESH SHARMA,BJP UP Polls CM Candidate
KESHAV CHALISA
If you are a devout Hindu and have heard or rendered Hanuman Chalisa hundreds of time, you will be shocked to see this version. But in Uttar Pradesh, anything is possible including rewriting of Hanuman Chalisa, just to please a political boss.
This version of Hanuman Chalisa extolling virtues of the new Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya and how the state will become a foremost state if Keshav comes to Lucknow as Chief Minister. This spoof on Hanuman Chalisa, which has gone viral on social media, has triggered a new war of words in UP. Keshav Prasad Maurya has denounced any comparison with gods and called this chalisa a conspiracy of SP and BSP. UP BJP chief's prompt denial notwithstanding, the import of this message was not lost on anybody.
THE RISE OF SANGEET SOM
How many faction and their leaders are nursing the ambition of becoming Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh was also visible in the Nirbhaya Padyatra carried out by Sardhana MLA Sangeet Som. During the march when journalists asked him about potential CM candidate of the state, it was cue for his supporters to start shouting slogans that Sangeet Som should be the CM candidate of UP.
VARUN GANDHI'S POSTER WAR
For the BJP, which is already grappling with various faction laying claim for the top post, these development couldn't have come at a worse time. Already they have seen Sultanpur MP Varun Gandhi virtually plastering the whole city of Allahabad with his posters leaving nothing to imagination for the party top brass of how he thinks he is the fit candidate for the post of CM in Uttar Pradesh
SMRITI IRANI, MAHESH SHARMA IN THE FRAY?
Apart from open assertion of these two leaders, name of Smriti Irani and Mahesh Sharma couple of others are also doing the rounds, with denial coming in a way which makes you believe the story rather than reject it.
SAKSHI MAHARAJ PLAYS OBC CARD
But, if all these name are there, can Sakshi Maharaj be far behind. During the BJP national executive meet in Allahabad, he said that the party should announce a CM candidate and it should be form OBC caste only.
According to a senior UP BJP leader, "It's not a happy situation for the party as it is already facing a tough fight between Varun Gandhi and Yogi Adityanath, where each faction is claiming that their leader is the choice of youth and only they can end hibernation of BJP in Uttar Pradesh. To add more names as CM aspirant sends a wrong signal to the public."
