The whole 'Yogi is a threat to Modi and Shah' is pretty much an invention of opposition to split Rajput votes..
Anyone could clearly see that.
Imagine this, UP is pretty much the crown jewel of BJP. It's not Gujarat, MP or any other state. It's UP.
They handed their crown jewel to Yogi, twice.
Insinuations aside, exactly what is in public to remotely indicate that Yogi is not liked by Modi or Shah?
Coming to candidates, yes, some were tough to swallow but that is par for course for national parties with central leadership having a greater say.
In fact, it's par for course for any party. The top leadership always has the final say.
These smart people are saying to fix Yogi, Modi & Shah deliberately sabotaged themselves in UP...I can at least buy that logic if it were assembly elections where Yogi would be affected. These are national elections.
Someone convince me why Modi & Shah cut their own balls to spite Yogi?
