Yogi Adityanath becomes longest- running CM of Uttar Pradesh

Lucknow| Yogi Adityanath has now become the Chief Minister with the longest continuous tenure in Uttar Pradesh. Yogi Adityanath has a record of becoming CM for 7 consecutive years and 148 days. Before Yogi Adityanath, Congress Chief Minister Dr. Sampurnanand had held this post for the longest time. BSP supremo Mayawati took oath four times and Mulayam Singh from Samajwadi Party thrice, but still could not break the record.

CM Yogi is counted among those leaders under whose leadership a party has formed the government for the second time in the state. On 25 March 2022, when Yogi Adityanath took oath as Chief Minister, he had broken Narayan Dutt Tiwari’s 37-year-old record. Narayan Dutt took oath as the Chief Minister for the second time in undivided Uttar Pradesh in 1985.

On 78th Independence Day, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave a lot on the achievements of Uttar Pradesh in the last seven years. He noted that the state had grown from the sixth or seventh largest economy to the second largest state economy in India, contributing 9.2% of the country’s GDP. CM Yogi Adityanath has established himself as a potential development engine for the UP government.
