00:00Yogi has clarified on Prime Ministerial ambitions.

00:04Yogi Adityanath says,

00:06I was picked as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister by the BJP.

00:09I am a Yogi. Politics is not my full-time job.

00:13Time limit for me in politics.

00:15Yogi has spoken on the clamour for him to succeed Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

00:24I am the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.

00:27The party has appointed me here for the people of Uttar Pradesh.

00:35And politics is not a full-time job for me.

00:40And okay, we are working here at this time.

00:43But I am actually a Yogi.

00:48So, we are working as long as we are here.

00:54How long will you do this?

00:56There will be a time limit.

00:58You have answered my previous question that this is not a full-time job.

01:03Yes, that's what I am saying.

01:05I am going straight across to Piyush.

01:07Piyush, in fact, Yogi Adityanath Navya has hinted at the fact that he has not got Prime Ministerial ambitions.

01:13Just talk to us about the inside track and what's really going on

01:17as far as these questions within the party are concerned.

01:22Well, there are multiple voices that emerge from within the party itself.

01:29In Uttar Pradesh, we have seen various BJP leaders have demanded that Yogi Adityanath should lead from the front

01:35and also should become the face of Prime Minister.

01:38And that is why this question has also come to the fore

01:41where he was asked about his Prime Ministerial ambitions

01:44where he has made it very clear that as of now he is going to fulfil his duty

01:48as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh as the party has asked him to do so.

01:52And at the same time, Yogi has gone on to say that there is a limit to everything

01:57because at the end of the day, he is a Yogi.

01:59So, he is not saying anything about his Prime Ministerial ambitions.

02:03But yes, there is a growing clamour within the party

02:06where multiple voices have emerged where people have demanded that Yogi Adityanath should go to Delhi a couple of days back.

02:14BJP's own MLA in front of Keshav Prasad Maurya had said that Yogi should go to Delhi

02:20and Keshav Prasad Maurya should lead the party in Uttar Pradesh.

02:26So, on these voices, those have come out.

02:30On that particular front, Yogi has responded saying that there is always a time limit to something

02:35because at the end of the day, he is a Yogi.

02:38But as of now, he has been given the responsibility of our Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, which he is fulfilling.
