Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is on a visit to Delhi this Saturday. Here, he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP President JP Nadda. Discussions spanned various topics, including the election of the UP BJP President. Talks also covered arrangements for Prime Minister Modi's visit to Varanasi in August.
Let's explore the implications of Chief Minister Yogi's visit to Delhi.
Did Yogi's visit to Delhi convey a political message?
The Delhi visit by Chief Minister Yogi is portrayed as a courtesy call, yet speculation suggests a significant political motive. There have been rumors about Yogi's position as Chief Minister being at risk. Therefore, this visit is perceived as a demonstration of his political strength and influence.
Yogi's visit follows Keshav Maurya's meeting
Some believe this visit is a response to the recent meeting between Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya and Amit Shah, which discussed the upcoming assembly elections. Speculation about a leadership change in UP has intensified since.

Strategy for OBC and Dalit Votes
The BJP is currently crafting strategies focused on OBC, Dalit, and backward class voters, who form a large part of the demographic in Uttar Pradesh. Some believe the party might change leadership to send a message to these communities. With Keshav Maurya being from the OBC community, his name is also under consideration.
Silence of BJP Leadership
However, so far, the top leaders of BJP have not officially commented on removing Yogi or appointing a new Chief Minister. Hence, it might be premature to predict any changes in UP's governance.
