There are also chances of him meeting BJP national head JP Nadda, General secretary BL Santosh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Meenakshi Lekhi. 

BJP is the first party to have a continuous second term and return to power in Uttarkhand since the formation of the state. In the recently concluded elections, BJP won four out of five states it contested. In UP, it won 255 out of 403 seats, 20 out of 40 in Goa, and 32 out of 60 in Manipur.
