RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and later both Deputy CMs in Lucknow, and the political temperature in Uttar Pradesh has clearly gone up. The meetings were called courtesy visits, but the timing has raised many eyebrows. With talks of cabinet expansion and organisational changes already in the air, this development feels bigger than it looks.

The back-to-back meetings happened during Bhagwat’s two-day visit to Lucknow. First, he held a closed-door discussion with CM Yogi. The next morning, he met Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak separately for around ten minutes each.

Closed-Door Talk With CM Yogi

On Wednesday night, CM Yogi Adityanath reached the RSS office in Nirala Nagar. The meeting took place inside Saraswati Shishu Mandir campus. Both leaders spoke privately for nearly 35 minutes. No official details were shared.

When such senior leaders meet in isolation, speculation naturally begins. Uttar Pradesh politics is entering a crucial phase. Assembly elections are due in 2027. Every move right now is being watched carefully.

Though sources describe it as a routine interaction, political observers believe strategy discussions cannot be ruled out. The frequency of meetings between Yogi and Bhagwat has also sparked chatter.

Meeting With Both Deputy CMs

The following morning, Mohan Bhagwat met Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya and Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak. Each meeting lasted around ten minutes. Short, yes, but politically significant.

These interactions came at a time when there are strong rumours of cabinet reshuffle in the state. Talks of changes within the BJP organisation are also circulating. In such a backdrop, meetings between RSS leadership and top state leaders are bound to create buzz.

Some see it as coordination. Others read it as preparation. In politics, even silence speaks.

Is 2027 Already On The Radar?

Many insiders suggest that groundwork for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections has quietly started. The RSS is known to play a crucial role during elections, especially in mobilising support and strengthening booth-level networks.

Mohan Bhagwat’s repeated visits to Uttar Pradesh hint that the state holds special focus. UP remains politically vital for national equations. A strong performance here shapes the national mood.

If strategy talks are happening, it would not be surprising. Elections may seem far, but planning begins early. That’s how big political machinery works.

Cabinet Expansion And Internal Signals

There have been ongoing discussions about possible cabinet expansion in Uttar Pradesh. Some organisational adjustments within the BJP are also expected. These meetings have only added more fuel to those discussions.

However, no official confirmation of any change has been announced. Leaders have maintained that the meetings were purely organisational and routine.

Still, political observers believe such high-level interactions rarely happen without purpose. Even if it was a courtesy visit, the message has travelled far.

What It Means For UP Politics

For now, there is no official statement revealing the agenda. But the optics are powerful. RSS chief meeting the Chief Minister and both Deputy CMs within hours sends a signal of coordination and alignment.

It may reflect unity. It may indicate preparation. It could simply be review and discussion. Yet, in Uttar Pradesh politics, timing always matters.

As 2027 slowly approaches, every meeting, every visit, every closed-door conversation will be analysed deeply. The recent interactions in Lucknow have done exactly that. Political temperature has risen, and it does not seem cooling anytime soon.
