Yogi Adityanath is taking oath as the Chief Minister today after a spectacular return to power on Friday at 04:30 PM. Along with Yogi, 45 ministers will also take the oath. In this, 22 old ministers will be repeated while 23 new faces are sure to be given a chance.
There will be two deputy CMs. The first name is fixed of Keshav Maurya. While the names of Swatantra Dev Singh, AK Sharma and Baby Rani Maurya are leading for the second.
Not only this, but 3 former IPS-IAS are also to be included in the cabinet. However, the BJP has not yet given any official information regarding the names and numbers of the ministers.
Professional touch on the lines of Modi Government
The maximum number in the Yogi cabinet is 60. That's why this time the cabinet has been kept small. So that, before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the caste equation can be reset as per the need.
This time the Yogi cabinet has been given a professional touch on the lines of the Modi government at the Centre.
The names of such MLAs have been finalized for the ministerial post, who have caste equations and professional ability. For this, screening of biodata has been done at the high command level.
One reason has also been that after the declaration of the result, it took 15 days to take the oath. This entire exercise has been done to win the Lok Sabha seats of UP in 2024.
22 old minister set to be repeated
Yogi's first government had 60 ministers. Just before the election, 3 ministers Swami Prasad Maurya, Dharam Singh Saini and Dara Singh Chouhan left the party.
