Lucknow, July 5 -- The BJP will work with its allies to repeat the performance of the 2017 Assembly polls on the strength of the work done in the state, party leaders said after a meeting with BJP president Nitin Nabin on Sunday.
Later in a meeting with NDA allies, Nabin discussed measures to strengthen the alliance but no discussion was held on seat-sharing, party sources said.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party is capable of fighting elections. We will ensure that all NDA constituents continue to work together to make Uttar Pradesh an 'Uttam Pradesh'," the BJP chief told reporters after meeting BJP allies at the Taj Hotel.
Nabin, who is on a two-day visit to Lucknow, started his day with a meeting over tea with former BJP presidents of the state. They discussed the 2027 Assembly election strategy, sources said.
Former BJP state president Vinay Katiyar, who has been vocal about his views on the alleged Ram temple donation theft, was not seen at the meeting, party sources said.
Katiyar said on Friday said the sanctity of the Ram temple must be upheld irrespective of the ongoing investigation into alleged embezzlement of donations and that the "wrongdoing" was unacceptable.
