New Delhi [India], June 11 (ANI): BJP president JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence here on Friday after their meetings with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The Chief Minister had also met the Prime Minister earlier in the day.

The Chief Minister's visit to Delhi came amid speculation of expansion of his cabinet.

Sources said that Yogi Adityanath's discussions with party leaders pertained to the management of the COVID-19 in Uttar Pradesh and preparations for next year's assembly polls.

They said there is also a possibility of the state getting more representation in any expansion of the union cabinet.

With elections due in Uttar Pradesh next year, the BJP is making efforts to strengthen the organisation based on feedback from its state leaders in the wake of the outcome of panchayat polls and the murmurs from some sections over handling of the COVID-19 situation. (ANI)
