Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister-designate Yogi Adityanath met BJP chief JP Nadda today for a last-minute discussion on government formation in the state, where the party won a record victory earlier this month. Yogi Adityanath had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on March 13, three days after the declaration of results.
The BJP is set to have its legislature party meeting tomorrow and formally elect its leader. The oath ceremony of the new government will be held on Friday at a mega event in Lucknow's Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ikana stadium.
Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to attend the meet as the party's observer for government formation.
While decisions have been taken for the top post, there is still suspense about the post of the Deputy Chief Minister, following the defeat of Keshav Maurya in the election. Mr Maurya had lost in Sirathu to Pallavi Patel of Apna Dal (Kamerawadi), who was contesting on a Samajwadi Party ticket.
