On the two days following the assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, newly elected Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, will visit New Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discuss new cabinet formation for the state.
Yogi Adityanath, the BJP’s chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, will visit Delhi today to hold consultations with the top leadership of the party.
According to an ANI report, the new government is likely to be sworn in on the dates announced earlier this month. The new Cabinet will also be announced at this time.
Yogi will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the BJP’s national general secretary BL Santhosh during his visit to Delhi.
The BJP won the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections with a clear majority, and Adityanath held a meeting with his ministerial colleagues at the party office in Lucknow on Friday to discuss upcoming plans.

Adityanath will be the first Chief Minister in the last 37 years to return to power after completing a full term in office.
