With the BJP government retaining power for the second consecutive term in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has begun his two-day visit to Delhi on Sunday in order to discuss the new cabinet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. National President JP Nadda, Amit Shah and BL Santosh in Delhi are expected to be present at the meeting. Additionally, the swearing-in ceremony date will be discussed during the meeting. State President Swatantrata Dev Singh, BJP leader Sunil Bansal, state in-charge Radha Mohan Singh will also accompany Adityanath to Delhi on Sunday, as per news agency ANI report.
According to sources familiar with the details, for its second consecutive term, the BJP is considering several new faces in the cabinet along with the new Deputy Chief Minister. Additionally, it is being speculated that the BJP leadership has prepared a basic list of probable Deputy Chief Ministers and Ministers on the basis of qualification, caste and regional equations because BJP gives place to every caste in its cabinet. The Central leadership will have the final say on the list.
For the post of Deputy Chief Minister, the names of Swatantra Dev Singh, Baby Rani Maurya, Brijesh Pathak and Keshav Prasad Maurya are in talks. Swatantra Dev Singh was the Transport Minister, apart from this he was the BJP state president, as per news agency ANI report.
Keshav Prasad Maurya has definitely lost from Sirathu seat in the elections this time but he is the face of OBC. As Deputy Chief Minister, he has governed the state well, so once again he can be made the Deputy Chief Minister.
