CM Yogi meets PM Modi, receives guidance on UP's development
New Delhi, Jan 5
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the latter's residence in the national capital on Monday, seeking valuable guidance to further accelerate the development trajectory of 'New Uttar Pradesh'.
In a post on X following the hour-long meeting, CM Yogi expressed profound gratitude, stating: "Today, I had the honour of meeting with Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi in New Delhi and received his valuable guidance. Your guidance always inspires new energy further to accelerate the development journey of 'New Uttar Pradesh'. Heartfelt thanks to the Prime Minister for giving his valuable time."
Sources indicate that the discussions encompassed key issues, including the much-anticipated expansion of the state cabinet, political appointments in various commissions and boards, and strategies for the upcoming 2027 assembly elections.
The cabinet reshuffle is expected to occur post-Makar Sankranti on January 14-15, following the recent appointment of Pankaj Chaudhary as the new Uttar Pradesh BJP chief. The meeting also focused on ongoing development initiatives and aligning state policies with the central government's vision for a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India).
Under the 'double-engine' government, Uttar Pradesh has witnessed significant progress in infrastructure, investment, and public welfare schemes, contributing substantially to national growth.
CM Yogi is also meeting with BJP national president JP Nadda, amid preparations for organisational changes and electoral planning.
The deliberations underscore the close coordination between the state and central leadership as Uttar Pradesh aims to set new benchmarks in prosperity, governance, and all-around progress by 2026.
This courtesy call and guidance session highlights the continued emphasis on transformative governance in India's most populous state, with PM Modi's insights expected to infuse fresh momentum into key projects and the political roadmap.
The Prime Minister's Office also acknowledged the meeting, reinforcing collaborative efforts for national development.

While the meeting is positive, I hope the guidance translates to more jobs for youth in smaller towns, not just Lucknow or Noida. The development should be inclusive and reach the villages. The focus on 2027 elections already seems a bit premature.
Viksit Bharat needs a Viksit Uttar Pradesh. The state's progress is crucial for the entire country's growth. PM Modi's guidance will surely help. Looking forward to the new cabinet and fresh energy! Jai Hind 🇮🇳
As someone who has visited UP recently, the infrastructure development is impressive. The airports and roads are world-class. This kind of political stability and clear vision is what attracts foreign investment. Good step.
Hope the discussions also covered pressing issues like pollution in cities like Kanpur and Varanasi, and better healthcare facilities. Development is more than just roads and elections. A balanced approach is needed for true progress.
The strategic planning for a state as large and complex as UP is fascinating from a governance perspective. Aligning state and central policies can reduce duplication and increase efficiency. This model seems to be working.
All this talk of development is good, but what about the rising prices of everyday items?
