Earlier today, Adityanath met Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and BJP general secretary BL Santhosh.
The UP CM will also meet BJP president JP Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh later in the evening.
Ahead of the oath-taking ceremony, Adityanath is meeting the top BJP brass to discuss the exercise of government formation, the UP Cabinet and a variety of other issues. It is being speculated if the BJP will induct a new face as the deputy CM after Keshav Prasad Maurya lost the assembly poll from Sirathu seat to Samajwadi Party's Pallavi Patel by 7,337 votes.
The swearing-in is likely to take place after Holi (March 18), as per PTI.
BJP secured another landmark victory by winning 255 seats in the 403-member Assembly, while its two allies bagged another 18 seats.
