Detailed Critical Analysis of Administration and Management of the Government of Uttar Pradesh Under the Leadership of Yogi Aditya Nath 2017 to 2021: A Quantitative Study of Expert's Opinion

Abstract

While no newspaper questioned Yogi's appointment as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in terms of appropriateness, they were not uncritical. Newspapers noted and stressed the fame of Yogi before bringing attention to the limitations. They even discussed the trust deficit between the Administration of Yogi and Muslims and provided some space to articulate their issues and concerns. While discussing the lack of trust, publications focused much on the Muslim population's support for the BJP and Yogi's work among Muslims. Amongst core Hindutva issues, just closure of the illegal slaughterhouses has also been stressed. During election campaigns, the focus was mainly on the caste and regional representation in the party. However, after the declaration of the results, issues of expression of the religious minorities have occupied center stage. The situation of law and order in a broad sense was at an all-time high in terms of the agenda of BJP while the elections were happening. However, in post-elections, news coverage about women's safety and the situation of law and order now have become synonymous. Newspapers did not oppose the anti-Romeo squads if they stressed the inconvenience to the innocent people while noting that only the formation of these squads would not address deep concerns. The issue of electricity supply, problems of the farmers, traffic issues, encephalitis, and cheating all got significant attention from the Yogis government. A sample of 133 respondents from the administration and management department was surveyed to analyze the Administration and Management of the Government of Uttar Pradesh under the Leadership of Yogi Aditya Nath and the leadership effect of Yogi Aditya Nath on administration and management. The study concludes that there is a significant leadership effect of Yogi Aditya Nath on the administration and management of the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
