NDTV
The optics of Mohan Bhagwat meeting Yogi Adityanath are significant after the former's speech this week in Nagpur, in which the RSS boss seemed to take digs at the BJP's poor election result.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath - a senior leader and prominent face of the BJP - and Mohan Bhagwat, boss of ruling party's ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh are expected to meet this afternoon in Gorakhpur, which is the latter's Assembly bastion.
The meeting - sources call it a "courtesy meet" as Mr Bhagwat is in the Chief Minister's constituency for an unrelated event, is to take place either between 2 and 4 pm or after the latter's visit to the Gorakhnath Temple at 4.15 pm. Whenever it does happen, however, it will take place amid hushed talk of a rift between party and mentor, which has been firmly denied by both camps. The Adityanath-Bhagwat meeting will also take place as reports circulate of a split within the BJP itself, over poor election results.

He also said a "true sevak should serve without arrogance", a remark many saw as directed at a top BJP leader, possibly even Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
