According to Mishra, the top leaders discussed various aspects leading to the current conflict in the party in Uttar Pradesh and poor coordination among leaders. During the meeting the top leaders also discussed compensation for the loss caused by the farmers' protest, Covid mismanagement in UP, and enhancement of development work in Purvanchal, he added.
Sources claimed that the visit will soon lead to decentralization of power in UP. After Yogi's interaction with Apna Dal leader Anupriya Patel, BJP's new member Jatin Prasada and former advisor to Prime Minister AK Sharma, there are also speculations over cabinet expansion in the state government. "BJP needs to bring backward castes together to maintain stability in UP. There have been claims of anti-incumbency in the state," Mishra said.
