CM and RSS leaders called on OBC leader amid churn in BJP’s U.P. unit
Amid speculation of differences within the BJP in Uttar Pradesh over the question of leadership ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday called upon his Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya over lunch. Though Mr. Adityanath chose the occasion to offer ‘blessings’ to Mr. Maurya’s newly-wed son and daughter-in-law, his visit to his Deputy’s residence two blocks from his own on Kalidas Marg here was not bereft of political significance. On Tuesday, Mr. Adityanath along with Deputy CM Dinesh Sharma and top RSS leaders Dattatreya Hosabale and Krishna Gopal, visited Mr. Maurya. Mr. Maurya later released pictures of the meetings on social media, with one where he was offering a saffron scarf to Mr. Adityanath.More Related News
