Amid the marathon meetings of the BJP over the party's poor performance in Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, the party's UP chief Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and shared the review report with the PM.
The party's review report held the UP administration responsible for the poll defeat in Uttar Pradesh, sources told ABP News. It said that the party workers were neglected by the working style of the UP administration and they therefore were not active in the Lok Sabha elections.
It further alleged that the administration removed the names of the BJP voters from the voters' list and did not provide any help. Earlier today, Bhupendra Chaudhary and Keshav Prasad Maurya also BJP national president JP Nadda.

Meanwhile, PM Modi is likely to visit BJP headquarters at 6 pm on Thursday, where he will address and meet party workers at the office.
Maurya's Cryptic Tweet
The back-to-back meetings come amid speculations of differences between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Keshav Prasad Maurya, one of the deputy CMs.
Several BJP leaders from the state, including those who lost in the Lok Sabha polls, have been critical of the chief minister's working style and cited it as one of the reasons for their loss, according to NDTV.
However, Adityanath is seen by his supporters as a popular chief minister who has aggressively pursued the party's Hindutva agenda and maintained a firm grip on law and order.
