PM, Shah discuss BJP's UP potboiler
The Morning Standard
|July 18, 2024
Contrary to speculation of changes, BJP is not considering any surprises for Yogi government
AMID rumblings within the UP BJP, party's principal strategist and Union home minister Amit Shah had a long meeting with Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday at the latter's residence. This preceded UP BJP chief Bhupendra Chaudhary calling on the PM and reportedly taking responsibility for the party's poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls.
Party sources hinted that PM-Shah meeting covered the emerging situation in the UP unit, particularly in the wake of the recent LS poll results. "They would have discussed PM's scheduled meetings with party CMs and their deputies later this week," said a source.
"A discussion on Modi's meeting with party workers and Delhi party staffers on Thursday at the BJP headquarters could also have figured in the PM-Shah meeting," he said.
Sources said the central leadership has delivered a strong message to all state units to avoid statements and posts that may spark controversy or show differences within the party.
