The BJP is prepping for an organisational rejig in Uttar Pradesh after its big drubbing in the politically-significant state in this Lok Sabha election, sources have told NDTV. State BJP president Bhupendra Chaudhary, it is learnt, has taken responsibility for the party's poor show and offered to step down during a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi today. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has now reached the Prime Minister's residence to discuss the next move.
Over the past few days, key BJP leaders in Uttar Pradesh are in the national capital and are holding meetings with the party brass. Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya met BJP national president JP Nadda, fuelling the buzz over a big revamp.
