Chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda in Delhi on Wednesday triggered speculation about expansion of the Uttar Pradesh cabinet, people familiar with the matter said.
The BJP has summoned OBC leaders from across the country to Delhi on Thursday to discuss the issue of caste-based census demand, over which nearly the entire opposition as well as some from within the BJP too are unanimous, they said.
Top BJP leaders from UP, including chief minister Yogi Adityanath, deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya – the OBC face of the BJP in UP – among others are likely to be in Delhi on Thursday.
