Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Thursday.
In a post on X, CM Yogi shared, "Today, I paid a courtesy visit to the Hon'ble Union Home and Cooperation Minister AmitShah ji in New Delhi. Heartfelt thanks to you for sparing your valuable time."

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath chaired the first cabinet meeting following the recent expansion of the state cabinet ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on May 10 expanded its cabinet ahead of the 2027 elections, inducting several new ministers and strengthening its administrative team at Jan Bhavan in Lucknow.
Former Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary and BJP leader Manoj Kumar Pandey were among those sworn in as ministers in the state cabinet.
Krishna Paswan also took oath as minister along with Surendra Diler, Hansraj Vishwakarma and Kailash Singh Rajput. Besides expanding his team, CM Yogi elevated Ajit Singh Pal and Somendra Tomar as ministers of state with independent charge.
The oath of office was administered to them by Governor Anandiben Patel.
The expansion comes as the state prepares for the 2027 Legislative Assembly elections, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) aiming for a third consecutive term in power.
In the 2022 polls, the BJP managed to secure a thumping majority with 255 of 403 seats in the Assembly.

Good to see the CM is proactive in meeting senior leaders. Yogi ji has been doing commendable work in UP especially in law and order. Hope these meetings result in more development for the state. 👏
All these meetings are just political photo-ops. The focus should be on providing employment and education to youth, not just cabinet expansions. What about farmers and inflation? 🤔
These coalition/party meetings are common in Indian politics as well. The expansion of the UP cabinet shows they're preparing for the 2027 polls. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep their majority given the anti-incumbency factors.
Hope this expansion brings fresh energy to the UP government. Need more focus on infrastructure and healthcare in rural areas. But let's see how these new ministers perform - actions speak louder than words! 🙏
Some people are criticizing but this is normal political routine. The CM met the Home Minister and party president - ensures better coordination. We need strong leadership for UP's progress. Samajwadi Party and Congress should take notes! 😄
That's all well and good, but UP still has massive problems with infrastructure and education. The cabinet expansion
