Lucknow, May 10 -- Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath is set to expand his 54-member cabinet at around 3pm on Sunday by making inductions ahead of the 2027 state assembly elections.
Adityanath, who attended the swearing-in ceremony of Bharatiya Janata Party's first West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari and five other MLAs as ministers in Kolkata earlier in the day, met governor Anandiben Patel at Jan Bhavan and discussed the ministry expansion issue with her soon after reaching Lucknow on Saturday evening.
"Yes, chief minister Yogi Adityanath is set to expand his ministry at about 3pm on Sunday," said functionaries aware of the development without divulging the names of those to be inducted or elevated in the ministry.
