News India Live, Digital Desk: The political temperature has suddenly risen amidst the winter of Lucknow. The reason is the visit of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to Delhi. Whenever ‘Maharaj ji’ (CM Yogi) takes a flight from Lucknow to Delhi, whispers start in the political circles. This time the topic of discussion is hot Cabinet Expansion.
It has been in the air for a long time that some big changes are going to happen in the UP government, and this visit of Yogi has brought these rumors closer to reality.
With whom is the meeting in Delhi?
It is reported that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s schedule is very busy in Delhi. He can meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Apart from this, he also has to have a long consultation with BJP national president JP Nadda and UP BJP in-charge Nitin Naveen.
When the head of the state sits in a closed room with the head of the country and the party president, then obviously it is not just about the weather.
Why is there discussion of ‘cabinet expansion’?
There are still some vacancies in the UP cabinet. There is talk that efforts are being made to settle some equations since the Lok Sabha elections.
- Place associates: BJP’s allies (like RLD or others) have been waiting for their share in power for a long time.
- Gag on non-performer: If sources are to be believed, the work report of some ministers may not be good. They can be shown the way out and new, energetic faces can be included in Team Yogi.
- By-elections and caste equation: In view of the upcoming elections, reshuffle is considered necessary to solve the caste equation.
Leaders’ heartbeats are fast
As soon as Yogi ji’s helicopter took off for Delhi, many ministers and MLAs in Lucknow must have lost sleep. Those who are in line to become ministers are waiting dressed in fine clothes, and those who are afraid of losing the chair are praying to God to “just save me this time.”
Change in organization also?
There is talk of tightening of some screws not only at the government but also at the level of the organization (UP BJP). The meeting with in-charge Nitin Naveen clearly means that the internal structure of the party will also be discussed. The list of who will remain the district president and who will step down may also be being finalised.
At present, all eyes are on Delhi. Will Yogi ji bring the list of his ‘new team’ with him when he returns to Lucknow? Or is it just a discussion on upcoming strategy? Whatever happens, the next 24 to 48 hours are very important for the politics of UP.
