New Delhi/Lucknow. A day ahead of the Uttar Pradesh BJP Legislature Party meeting, caretaker Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrived in the national capital on Wednesday evening to discuss government formation in the state with the party’s central leadership. Sources said a meeting will be held at Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s residence here to discuss the names to be appointed as ministers in the new Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh.
“Adityanath arrived in Delhi on Wednesday evening after attending the swearing-in ceremony of the Pushkar Singh Dhami government in Uttarakhand to discuss and finalize the names of ministers for his new cabinet,” sources said.
It is learned that BJP President J.P. Nadda and party’s national general secretary (organisation) B.L. Santosh will be present during the meeting at Shah’s residence.
A party insider said, “The names of the ministers will be discussed after reviewing the performance of the existing ministers. There are over a dozen vacancies, as some incumbent ministers lost the elections, while some left the party before the elections.” Social engineering and regional balance will also be considered while finalizing the names.
A meeting of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature Party will be held in Lucknow on Thursday, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of the new Adityanath-led government on March 25.
Central observer Shah and former Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das will reach Lucknow for the meeting on Thursday.
