Yogi Adityanath to meet Amit Shah today; likely to discuss govt formation in UP

Days after the Bharatiya Janata Party's massive victory in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the state's Chief Minister-designate Yogi Adityanath is expected to reach Delhi on Wednesday afternoon to meet Union home minister Amit Shah. While he was slated to reach the national capital on Wednesday morning, news agency ANI reported that he amended the itinerary due to the Union cabinet meeting. Adityanath had then also met Amit Shah, and Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda, and discussed the political strategy ahead. Adityanath, a monk-turned-politician, won his first-ever Assembly election by a margin of 1,03,390 from Gorakhpur Urban constituency, defeating the Samajwadi Party candidate Subhawati Upendra Dutt Shukla, who secured 62,109 votes in the recently-concluded UP Assembly elections.
