Adityanath on Tuesday met the senior leaders of the party Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party president Amit Shah and Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

According to reports, there is a tussle between Chief Minister Adityanath and his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya over the important home portfolio. Both Adityanath and Maurya wanted the home department and have turned to Delhi for a solution.

Adityanath was sworn in as the UP CM on March 19 and made commitment to work for the development of the state and live up to Modi’s dream of turning Uttar Pradesh into Uttam Pradesh.

“UP will be the state which our honourable Prime Minister has dreamt of, a corruption-free state, a state free of anarchy. It would be an incident free-state…Uttar Pradesh would work to make the dream of Prime Minister a reality," Adityanath said.
