CM Yogi in Delhi:

Earlier, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday. It is likely that Yogi will meet BJP President JP Nadda. Just a few days ago, BJP's National General Secretary (Organisation) BL Santosh and the party's state in-charge Radha Mohan Singh had visited Lucknow and reviewed the party's preparations for next year's assembly elections. Both the leaders had met the state government ministers and key officials of the organization during this period.

CM Yogi to meet PM Modi:

After this, after Adityanath's sudden arrival in Delhi and meeting the central leaders, once again the speculation of cabinet expansion in the state has intensified. These speculations were further strengthened when sources claimed that Nadda met Prime Minister Modi and former Union minister Jitin Prasada, who had joined the BJP a day earlier, met Chief Minister Adityanath.

No official information was given about the meeting between Nadda and the prime minister, but Prasad termed his meeting with the chief minister as a courtesy call. AK Sharma, a former administrative officer and member of the Legislative Council, who recently joined the BJP, is also in Delhi. Sources say that he met some central leaders of the party. Sharma is considered close to Prime Minister Modi.

BJP leaders or senior party functionaries did not give any official information about this round of meetings, but sources claimed that this exercise is about the induction of some other leaders including Prasad and Sharma in the Uttar Pradesh government. Prasad is from a well-known Brahmin family of the state, while Sharma belongs to the Bhumihar community.
