Early Political Career
Yogi Adityanath is part of a particular Hindutva political tradition in Uttar Pradesh that can be traced back to Mahant Digvijay Nath, who was in charge of putting idols in the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 22, 1949. Digvijay Nath and Vaidyanaath, who succeeded him, were both members of the Hindu Mahasabha and were elected to Parliament on the platform of that political party. The two branches of Hindu nationalism came together in the 1980s when the BJP and the Sangh Parivar joined the Ayodhya movement. In 1991, Vaidyanaath joined the BJP, but he still had a great deal of autonomy. Four years after Adityanath was assigned Vaidyanaath's replacement, he was chosen for the Lower Place of the Indian Parliament (the Lok Sabha).
After his most memorable discretionary win, Adityanath began his own childhood association Hindu Yuva Vahini, which came to be known for its exercises in the eastern Uttar Pradesh and was instrumental in Adityanath's brilliant ascent. Concerning the distribution of election tickets, Adityanath and the leadership of the BJP have frequently experienced conflict. However, Adityanath has been a prominent campaigner for the BJP, so the tensions have not grown.
He made the connections between Nepali Maoists and Indian Leftist parties a major issue in his campaign in 2006, and he encouraged Madhesi leaders to oppose Maoism in Nepal. In 2008, his guard was allegedly gone after while end course to Azamgarh for an enemy of psychological oppression rally. At least six people were injured, and one person was killed in the attack.
Adityanath and other BJP leaders had gathered in January 2007 to mourn the death of a man who had been killed by religious violence. After that, the police took him and some of his backers into custody and put them in the Gorakhpur jail on charges of disrupting the peace and breaking prohibitory orders. His arrest sparked additional unrest, which culminated in the alleged burning of several coaches of the Mumbai-Gorakhpur Goden Express by Hindu Yuva Vahini protesters. The District Magistrate and the local police chief were moved and replaced the day after the arrest.

Member of Parliament
At 26 years old, Adityanath was the youngest member of the 12th Lok Sabha. He was chosen for the Parliament from Gorakhpur for five successive terms (in 1998, 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014 decisions).
Adityanath's participation in Lok Sabha was 77% and he has posed 284 inquiries, partook in 56 discussions and presented three confidential part Bills in the sixteenth Lok Sabha.
Relations with the BJP
For more than a decade, Adityanath has had strained relationships with the BJP. He criticized the BJP for diluting the Hindutva ideology and frequently denigrated and undermined it. He was confident in his ability to dictate terms to the BJP because he had established his own independent power base in Eastern Uttar Pradesh with the support of the Hindu Yuva Vahini and the Gorakhnath Math. He revolted by running candidates against the official BJP candidates when his voice was not heard. The most well-known example is when, in 2002, Radha Mohan das Agarwal, a Hindu Mahasabha candidate from Gorakhpur, narrowly defeated BJP Cabinet minister Shiv Pratap Shukla. In 2007, Adityanath threatened to oppose the BJP with 70 candidates for the state assembly. But in the end, he came to an agreement. Adityanath was said to have campaigned against the BJP candidates who lost in the 2009 elections for Parliament.
Regardless of his occasional rebellions, Yogi Adityanath has been kept in geniality by the RSS and the BJP pioneers. The representative head of the state L. K. Advani, the RSS boss Rajendra Singh and the VHP boss Ashok Singhal have visited him in Gorakhpur. Adityanath co-hosted the BJP National Executive Meet in Lucknow and a three-day Virat Hindu Mahasammelan in Gorakhpur from December 22 to 24, 2006. The Mahasammelan was attended by a number of RSS and VHP leaders, who pledged to pursue Hindutva goals despite the BJP's alleged "abandonment" of them.
