In a significant political development, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya met RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat at the RSS office in Lucknow. The meeting comes a day after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a nearly 38-minute discussion with Bhagwat. Mohan Bhagwat has been on a three-day visit to Lucknow, participating in multiple organizational programs as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) marks 100 years of its establishment with events across the country. The back-to-back meetings are being viewed as politically significant, especially in the context of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Political observers believe the discussions may focus on electoral strategy and organizational coordination ahead of the polls. Bhagwat had earlier visited Gorakhpur, where he interacted with RSS functionaries. The recent high-level meetings in Lucknow indicate heightened political activity and strategic planning in the state. The outcomes of these discussions are expected to have important implications for Uttar Pradesh politics in the run-up to 2027.
