Amid UP rumblings, Yogi likely to meet Modi

UTTAR Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP leaders ahead of or after the NITI Aayog governing council meeting due on July 27.

The CM's meeting is set against the backdrop of rumblings within the UP BJP and a rift between Yogi and his deputy Keshav Maurya.

"In Delhi, Yogi's top-level interactions are likely to focus on the UP BJP," said a senior government functionary aware of the development.

Yogi's Delhi visit assumes significance as it comes barely two days ahead of the state legislature's monsoon session set to start from July 29.

Sources said the CM may discuss with top brass the party's feedback about the Lok Sabha poll debacle. The talks may also cover the upcoming bypolls.

The BJP is already in the poll mode with Yogi forming a team of 16 ministers to oversee poll preparations in the 10 assembly segments where bypolls are due later this year.
