Bringing crime under control, rather sending shivers up the spine of many-a-bahubalis, or priming Uttar Pradesh for industrial investment, Yogi Adityanath, has transformed the state into a peaceful state, where people can move freely, and women feel safe. Checking other boxes like industrial investment, improving infrastructure, handling the corona epidemic, increasing health and transport infrastructure across districts and regions-like Purvanchal and Bundelkhand, or making the lives of common people and workers, who were too keen on migrating, easy and providing them jobs within the state.
The Monk who Transformed Uttar Pradesh Reviews
-
I am not surprised why Yogiji government won the 2nd term. Lots of facts and information are mentioned in this book. The seed current government is sowing now will be seen after 5 or 10 years later. I have seen lots of people make jibes on UP. Now happy to see lots of work going on. They deserve respects and I think those days are near.

Phew!!! is the first word which comes to mind once you have finished this book. This happens not because it is an exhaustive read, but simply because of the amount or rather the quantum of work which has happened in the last 5 years of the Yogi Government.
Candidly speaking, it really makes you question as to, has all of the above work which has been mentioned by the author actually materialised / taken shape or is it just another eulogy written by an admirer of the incumbent person/government. Here is where the analytical part of the author comes forward. Shantanuji corroborates every statement of his with requisite data from the years of the previous governments corresponding Yogi Government. On a lighter note, this might be one of the reasons, why Shri T V Mohandas Pai has written the Foreword for this book(for the uninitiated, Shri Pai in his Talks/Lectures after having rattled data for half an hour straight will go ahead and say "Let me give you some data...".)
Well, at my end I would like to say that hailing from Lucknow and working with the Cottage Industry and it's grassroot level workers, one can vouch for the changes which have happened in the state of Uttar Pradesh, during the last 5 years. To cite an example from my own experience, when during the time of Covid, I spoke to my artisans about the availability of food with them, they stated that the Government has provided them with so much food, that they can even share it with me, if required!.
Post Script : A humble suggestion to Shantanuji. If you can provide pictorial testimonials for a lot of readers who do not belong to Uttar Pradesh, or won't be travelling anytime soon, it will go a long way in cementing the facts stated in this book. This can happen with an updated version of the book. -
A book that seems like more of a report card rather than a memoir.
To the one's who have been keenly observing the turnout events after yogiji getting elected as CM would know how the transformation of UP had taken place from being a most maligned state even with a lot of potential in being a exemplar state in India. An analytical approach to the governance of Yogi's administration with hard hitting facts and figures.
Many things stated here in this book you might have heard or read on many online portals & yet there are many accomplishments that didn't gain attraction from media since they are more interested in cases that serve thier propaganda. This was an informative and interesting read which makes you think how a good administrative team of people can change even the most outlawed
State to a well established one.. -
The Monk who Transformed Uttar Pradesh
In this book author Shantanu Gupta, the biographer of Yogi Adityanath writes about the transformation of UP under the new CM in the last 4.5 years. Indeed, the track record of achievement is impressive and profound and the author gives an enormous amount of verifiable data to back his writing. The book is very objective in nature.
It would have been good, if the book had anecdotes from Yogi Adityanath's role as CM.
UP will soon go to the polls and citizens will decide whom they will entrust the next government. -
Yes it is inclined, but the author substantiates his claims with numbers.
Full of stats, feels like reading a report card 😆 -
"For example in Sitapur district, notorious thugs, gangsters and most wanted criminals started voluntarily reporting at the police stations in UP. Some even promised to help the police to speed up their investigations."
A well researched book backed with hardcore numbers and interviews with various people. It covers both quantitative and qualitative aspects of Yogi Adityanath's administration. -
Good quick read. More of a report card. Lots of statistics. Wish the author had included a chapter on what else needs to be done, a course of action on challenges not met as well as some unforeseen challenges that were dealt with. I feel adding this would have made for a more interesting read.
Seems like the book was written in a hurry to be released before UP 2022 elections.
The book ends very very abruptly.
Could have been neatly summarised. -
Good read. Though structure is lacking. At many places data which could be put in tables is put in text thus increasing page numbers. Comparison with pre 97 is absent and historical examination of issues
-
Good book. Lots of statistics about the change in Uttar Pradesh during the first tenure of the CM.
