Lucknow: After not getting a place in the Union Cabinet, her party(s) leader Anupriya Patel suffered another setback. In fact, it was as if her husband and MLC Ashish Patel would find a place in the first cabinet expansion of the Yogi government, but that did not happen. BJP MLA Ramashankar Patel was given ministerial post from Madihan in Mirzapur in the cabinet expansion of the Yogi Adityanath government. Mirzapur is considered a stronghold of Anupriya and has been elected MP for the second time.

Sources in the BJP outfit said that the party has extended the post of Ramashankar Patel to further strengthen the BJP's grip on the Kurmi vote bank in the eastern region. It may be mentioned that the independent Dev Singh was recently appointed as the state president of Uttar Pradesh by the party. Savtantra Dev Kurmi, who lives in Mirzapur, is considered to be a great society.
In fact, before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Anupriya Patel and her husband Ashish Patel had disagreed with the BJP on a number of issues. There were also reports that Anupriya had also contacted Congress National General Secretary Priyanka Vadra before the elections due to anger from the BJP. However, the BJP's top leadership was also annoyed by the fact that it had contacted Congress.
