Yogi Adityanath, born in 1972 as Ajay Mohan Singh Bisht, is a monk-turned-politician from the Bharatiya Janata Party or the BJP. He has been the longest-serving Chief Minister of the state of Uttar Pradesh, having been in office for over nearly seven years — since March 2017.
Head priest at the Gorakhnath temple, he first joined politics when he was named in charge of managing the election campaign for former MP Mahant Avaidyanath.
Yogi Adityanath represents the Gorakhpur urban constituency in the state legislative assembly. First elected to the Lok Sabha in 1998, he has served as the MP for Gorakhpur in the parliament. He was a member of the Legislative Council of the state between 2017 and 2022.
But what about the threat from Maneka Gandhi? It stays temporary halt on her speeches. She exposed three weaknesses in the current system she liked to exploit. Booth level votes are not secret including the caste, religious, language and other associated identity factors. A candidate can declare herself as already won with impunity. The winning candidate or party, or even a losing candidate from winning party can threaten to take vengeance from the people. Prime cause is lack of secrecy of booth level votes
Earlier in the paper based voting, all ballot papers from a constituency are mixed up in large drums and it was impossible to trace to the locality where they came from. To ensure similar secrecy the identity of the EVM and its traceability to the individual booth or locality should be removed once it is taken out of the sealed pack and before the counting begins. Only then the voters can vote without the fear of being detected. I request The Print to publicize this idea for implementation in the balance of the phases. I read this idea elsewhere.
It is good to hear from from CJI that EC has woken Up, unfortunately CJI failed to say when the Supreme court and other Courts in our country are going to wake up after a long long Nap. Many comments of Supreme Court Sounds very Shocking. As our CJI has told Supreme Court works for the Maginalised people.Who are these Marginalised people. I felt there are the people who are in high position and are totally Corrupt. Our Courts have totally failed in giving speedy judgement against Corruption..
Unsurprising. The apex court is even more agitated on this issue than the ECI.
