Amit Shah

In a state with tricky demography, divided along religious and caste lines, the ruling BJP has broken a 37-years-old jinx by winning back-to-back assembly elections for the first time since 1985. Now with the elections done and victory sealed, CM Adityanath will have to select a group of ministers from among the legislative house to continue the deliverance of efficient governance. Here's a list of probable list of ministers in Yogi's cabinet.

The BJP central and state leaderships are meeting separately in the national capital over the government formation in Uttarakhand. A meeting of BJP central leadership is underway at Union Home Minister Amit Shah' residence, while another meeting of Uttarakhand leaders is going on at the residence of former Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' here.

With electoral victories in four out of five states, the BJP is gearing up for the government formations in the states. From the capital of the states to the capital of the country, the meetings are in full swing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, party's national president J.P. Nadda and party's national organisation general secretary B.L. Santosh are continuously meeting to decide on the selection of Chief Ministers and their cabinets.

"Our leader, Syama Prasad Mukherjee gave the supreme sacrifice to ensure that the country has only 'Ek Pradhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan' (One Prime Minister, one flag and one Constitution). Under Article 370, J&K's elected head of government was called 'Wazir-e-Azam' (Prime Minister), state had its own flag and a separate constitution.

Sources said that BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and others held informal consultations with the MLAs in Uttarakhand capital Dehradun. "To get a sense of the MLAs' mood, Vijayvargiya has met a few of them. The exercise has started to find the next chief minister after the party's victory and Dhami's loss," they said.

In a series of tweets, Shah said, "The BJP's grand victory in Uttar Pradesh is the victory of the unshakeable faith of village, the poor and farmers in Prime Minister Modi's welfare for the poor. Voters have re-affirmed in Yogi Adityanath government's fearless and corruption free governance. I thank people from the bottom of my heart for this massive victory."

Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and discussed the issue of Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMS). Channi also said that 997 students from the state were in Ukraine, out of whom 420 have returned, and 200 students have reached Poland and are safe but some of the people are still stuck in Ukraine.
