On Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politician Yogi Adityanath was unanimously chosen as leader of the BJP's legislature party in Lucknow, paving the way for him to become the state chief once again.
BJP politician Yogi Adityanath will make history when he is sworn in as Uttar Pradesh's state chief on Friday in

This is the first time in 37 years that an incumbent state chief and his party have been re-elected after completing a full five-year term.
The mass swearing-in ceremony is expected to be attended by at least 85,000 visitors, with chief guests including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, federal Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP state chiefs of other states.
Adityanath has also invited the head of the state's main opposition party and former state chief Akhilesh Yadav to the ceremony.
In addition to this, approximately 500 soothsayers are expected to

A Lucknow-based journalist, Ramanuj, told Sputnik that the city has been decorated for the swearing-in ceremony with flowers, hoardings, tents and lights.
BJP workers have been dancing and distributing sweets outside Lucknow's BJP office and Adityanath's residence. They have also performed special Hindu rituals, including 'Jal Abhishek' (water offerings to the deities) at more than 27,000 temples.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Adityanath thanked Prime Minister Modi for his guidance and said: "There were several developmental projects successfully carried out in the state in the past five years with the support of Prime Minister Modi."
"For the first time, people realised that homes for the poor could be built... and that Uttar Pradesh can be riot free," Adityanath added.
