Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Keshav Prasad Maurya has recently given a statement on the meeting held of Brahmin MLAs of BJP in UP. The Deputy CM completely rejected the allegations of casteism and internal strife in BJP and said, ‘There is neither Thakurism nor Brahminism in our party, only BJPism prevails here. BJP’s principle is – everyone’s support, everyone’s development, everyone’s respect and everyone’s place.

Talking to ABP, Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said that Akhilesh Yadav has no issues left, that is why he is raising such unnecessary questions. He said that if an MLA goes to someone’s birthday, anniversary or to eat Litti-Chokha, then it should not be seen as a caste meeting.

Only BJP issue will run in Uttar Pradesh – Keshav Prasad Maurya

When he was further questioned, allegations were being made that Brahmin MLAs were not happy and the politics of Thakur versus Brahmin was going on under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On this, Keshav Maurya bluntly said that neither Thakurism nor Brahminism will work in Uttar Pradesh, only BJPism will work. Whoever follows a different path, his future will be in darkness. All the party members know this.

When the Deputy CM was asked whether Brahmin MLAs were not able to express their views openly and whether they were holding separate meetings. Where even name and mobile number are being written. In response to this, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that it is natural for MLAs to meet each other during the House. Just because some people are sitting and their photo is published, it does not prove that there is any dispute or casteism in the party.

UP BJP Politics: Appointment letters were handed over to more than 60 thousand selected youth during a big event on Sunday in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. In this ceremony, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath themselves provided appointment letters to the youth from the platform, due to which the police of the state got 60 thousand new policemen. This program was not just a platform to provide employment, but through this, some interesting signs of internal politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were also seen.

Political speculation increased due to Amit Shah’s statement
In this program, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath along with Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, Brajesh Pathak and many other ministers and BJP leaders of Yogi government were present on the stage. CM Yogi first addressed the gathering, after which Home Minister Amit Shah gave inspirational address to the youth. At the beginning of his speech, Amit Shah first took the name of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and after that when Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, he addressed him as “my friend and deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya Ji”. This one line has once again warmed up the discussion in the political corridors of UP.

CM Yogi and Keshav Prasad Maurya have been in the discussion
It has been revealed in the politics of Uttar Pradesh for a long time that everything is not comfortable in the relationship between Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya. During the by -elections or in various government programs, many incidents of distance have been revealed before. In such a situation, Amit Shah’s addressing Keshav Prasad Maurya as a “friend” gives a clear indication that Maurya is among the leaders close to the top leadership of the BJP.

Apart from this, it is also noteworthy that some time ago when CM Yogi and Keshav Prasad Maurya were present in Delhi, both of them met different top leaders, which further strengthened the conflict between them.

Keshav Prasad Maurya is considered a big face of OBC class
When the BJP got a majority during the assembly elections 2022, Keshav Prasad Maurya’s name was also running prominently in the race for the post of Chief Minister. Maurya is not only the Deputy Chief Minister but is considered a big face of the OBC class, and his role in the party’s social equations has been important.
