PM Holds Meeting At His Residence Over UP Government Formation
New Delhi:

A meeting is in progress at the official residence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the formation of Uttar Pradesh government, sources have said.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will take oath for his second term on Friday, the BJP said earlier this week. But there has been no word on the size of his cabinet or names finalised for various ministries.

Yogi Adityanath has had several rounds of talks with PM Modi and the BJP's central leadership on candidates for his cabinet.

The BJP won a record victory in Uttar Pradesh earlier this month, scooping up 255 of the 403 assembly seats. Its allies won 18 more seats.

The tally was 43 lower than the last elections but the party's vote share saw a climb.
