Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday met Union minister Amit Shah in Delhi, and is also likely to call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday and party chief JP Nadda during his two-day visit, sources said.

Adityanath is visiting Delhi a day after Congress leader Jitin Prasada switched over to the BJP. His meeting with the central BJP leadership assumes significance as the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh is scheduled for assembly polls early next year.

With elections due next year, the BJP has decided to strengthen the party in the state by seeking feedback from its leaders in the wake of outcome of panchayat polls and the murmurs from some sections over handling of the Covid-19 situation.

The party has also decided to prepare a strategy based on feedback received from its state leaders and ministers in the state government, strengthen its image and resolve the issues.

Many leaders had flagged issues like Covid-19 handling, disenchantment among people and lack of coordination between government and party leaders, among others.
