In a historical and landslide win the Yogi Adityanath nicknamed as Bulldozer Baba has bounced back to power defeating his stiff rival Akhilesh Yadav, Chief of Samajwadi Party in just concluded UP assembly elections. After making hectic political parlays at BJP headquarter Delhi, Yogi Adtiyanath along with his team of 52 ministers has taken oath of office and secrecy at a glittering function in open at Atal Stadium in Lucknow, attended by a galaxy of personalities from different walks of life including industry and Bollywood. The oath taking ceremony was also attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and the chief ministers of BJP ruled states and the opposition leaders Akhilesh Yadav, Prinkya Gandhi, Mayawati and others. The ceremony was a departure from earlier oath taking ceremony of 2017 and it was witnessed by thousands of the jubilant people amid chants of Jai Shri Ram and Modi-Yogi Zindabad. Now that Adityanath is back to the power in the biggest state of India which is also politically significant state because it is considered as the gateway to the Delhi throne and so every political party attaches much required attention. The Yogi dispensation 2.0 should now concentrate on deliverance and should strive to achieve what the saffron party had promised on its election manisfesto called by it as Sanklap Patra so that the BJP will be in a position to come to power after the general elections of 2024. For this the bulldozer man and his BJP must work hard on the deliverance front so that the party comes up to the hopes, aspirations and expectations of the electorate so that the party will again be given a chance and opportunity of assuming power at the centre level in 2024 and coming up to the expectation of the people of UP is a litmus test for the party which aims to have power after general elections of 2024. The word bulldozer baba should not be taken in a negative sense but it should be understood in the sense of positivity as the Yogi has bulldozed the illegal buildings of the mafia and rowdy elements and has given the possession of such places and buildings to the poor people from whom it had been snatched by the mafia. Thus the Bulldozer Baba should not stop but continue his drive against the land and building mafia so that those involved into the illegal possession of the land and building will face action and their illegal properties will be bulldozed to pave way for the handing the said land to the needy and poor people. The voters of UP have voted in favour of Yogi for development plan, good and transparent governance as well as for his drive to bulldoze the buildings and other properties of the mafia and rowdy elements who have snatched these properties from the helpless people and so the drive against such Goonda elements should continue with redoubled effort in Yogis 2.0 government. So the Bulldozer Baba image of Yogi should be taken in the positive sense and not in the negative sense as it has great bearing upon the working of the Yogi government. It is for Yogis drive against the land and building mafia that he is referred as the bulldozer baba and his image along with the development agenda and good governance has paid in the form of votes in the assembly elections of 2022 just concluded. This image of Yogi should be continued and should not be erased for the good of UP as it is paying dividends in the elections and is purging the UP of the atrocities of the mafia elements and so the tirade of bulldozing should continue in the second Avtar of Yogis dispensation so that the UPs politics is purged of the mafia and rowdy elements so that innocent people of the state will have a sigh of relief and feel comfortable. Besides this bulldozing against the land and building Mafia, Yogi 2.0 government should continue to attack the rowdy and Goonda elements that are making the life of the innocent men and especially the women and girls a hell. Therefore the action against the rowdy elements that are a headache for the weak, downtrodden and the women and girls should continue so that these vulnerable sections of the society will feel relieved. Therefore the hunter of Yogi should be continued so that the law and order position of UP will further improve in the second term of Yogi and the weak, women and girls will feel security and relief. Thus the rule of law should be made possible in the most populous state of UP where crimes are taking place and for this the state is known as the capital of crime. The Bulldozer Baba should continue his operation against the land and building mafia and also against the rowdy and Goonda and criminals elements so that UP is purged and such elements will leave UP or will be either neutralized or arrested. Therefore the action of bulldozing should continue against land and building mafia so that the innocent people and poor ones are saved from the atrocities of the mafia and the innocents will not have to run for security. Thus on one side the action of bulldozing should be continued with the redoubled zeal against the land and building mafia and on the other and most important side the hunt for the rowdy and criminals should be continued so that the innocent people and those belonging to weaker sections will feel some relief and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility will be made possible and the goonda elements should be on the run and they leave the UP so that it will no longer be a green pasture for the rowdy and criminal elements. Thus the Bulldozer Baba’s action of bulldozing should be continued against the targeted mafia elements and the attack on the Goonda and rowdy elements who are making the life of the weaker sections and the women ,girls and children a hell should be carried to conclusion so that the Goondas, rowdy and criminals will either leave UP or will either be eliminated or put behind bars. Therefore the action of the police against the rowdy and criminals should be continued with zest and zeal and all those who are becoming a nuisance for the weak, women, girls and children should be put behind bars and speedy trial should be made and they should be punished for their unlawful activities. Thus the rule of law and justice which was ensured in Yogi 1.0 government should continue in Yogi 2.0 government and all the rowdy and criminal elements should be prosecuted and punished so that the poor will feel some relief from extortion from the criminal goonda nexus and the people are saved from the atrocities of the criminals and rowdy elements. Besides development and good governance plank and operationalising the central schemes of Modi and also for the good law and order position the people of UP have voted Yogi and his saffron party BJP to power by giving more than three fourth majority to it. The law and order position is good in UP as compared to the earlier governments of SP,BSP and congress but there is further scope for its improvement during Yogi 2.0 government and therefore the action against the rowdy and criminal elements should continue in the second term of Yogi so that people will feel satisfied that they have voted right persons to power in 2022 assembly elections. Since the voters of UP have voted BJP and Yogi -the Bulldozer Baba to power once again for good governance and good law and order position and now it is the turn of the Yogi government to come up to the expectations of the gullible voters and delivers on the promises and manifesto of the BJP so that people will feel satisfied that they have voted for the right people and have given them again a chance to rule. To conclude one can say that the Bulldozer Baba which Yogi is known for his tirade of bulldozing should start his second innings with redoubled spirit in the interest of the people of UP.
