NEW DELHI: Amid speculation of impending organizational changes within the Uttar Pradesh BJP, a late-night meeting was convened at the party headquarters in which BJP National President and Union Minister JP Nadda met with the state president and Deputy Chief Minister.

Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya arrived at the party central office accompanied by Uttar Pradesh BJP President Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary and engaged in extensive discussions with Nadda for several hours.

While no official statement has been issued regarding the proceedings or topics discussed during the meeting, party sources suggested that matters pertaining to party affairs and potential inclusions in the state government were prominently featured.

There is a buzz that the BJP may soon announce significant decisions aimed at restructuring the party's organizational framework in Uttar Pradesh, especially in light of recent electoral setbacks in the Lok Sabha elections.

"It's challenging to predict the exact nature of these forthcoming moves, but it's apparent that changes are likely within the BJP's UP unit, possibly extending to government appointments with the introduction of new faces," noted a BJP insider.

The meeting between Keshav Prasad Maurya, the party chief, and Nadda assumes political significance, occurring just a day after Maurya's remarks drew widespread attention across various media platforms, further fueling speculation.
