Addressing BJP MLAs in Lucknow, an emotional Yogi Adityanath said, “For the first time, a Chief Minister completed his five-year tenure and the party came to power once again for the second time (in Uttar Pradesh). This has happened for the first time. It has happened under the guidance and leadership of PM Modi.”
