Born Ajay Mohan Bisht, he assumed the role of Chief Minister in 2017 after representing Gorakhpur as a Member of Parliament for five terms. His tenure focuses on infrastructure development, governance reforms, and ensuring law enforcement in the state. Yogi’s leadership is strongly associated with his allegiance to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and his role in strengthening the party’s presence in Uttar Pradesh.
Akhilesh Yadav: Progressive Leadership
Akhilesh Yadav, the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav, served as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh from 2012 to 2017.

Divergent Political Paths
Though they share a similar age, their leadership approaches differ significantly.

Both continue to shape Uttar Pradesh’s future, despite their differences.
