If you look at the major news events of 2020 you will realize that , India China border issue, Sushant Singh's Death, Corona Pandemic and Yogi vs Modi was in all news channels. Uttar Pradesh under Yogi has seen some changes for the better, many criminals are not even taking bail to come out due to the fear of Modi's encounter squad. He has even activated anti-Romeo squads to protect women and girls of UP from sexual harassment. But after all this, He has had very little dealings on international affairs, defence, or finance. He is a good speaker and can take on any MP in the Parliament floor -but Prime Ministership is much more than that.
Modi and Shah will now need him if they want to win UP again in 2022 and India in 2024. In fact when Amit Shah was missing in the Bhumi Poojan of Ram Mandir, it triggered curiosity in media and people.
