Lucknow, February 18 Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday, who is on a two-day visit to Lucknow as part of the RSS's centenary year outreach.
Adityanath reached Saraswati Sishu Mandir in Nirala Nagar around 8 pm to meet Bhagwat. The agenda of the nearly 40-minute-long meeting between the two leaders has not been made public.
However, Bhagwat's frequent visits to the state assume importance as the state will hold its assembly elections in a year's time.
Bhagwat was in Mathura in January on a 10-day visit. In February, he arrived again in Uttar Pradesh, beginning his tour with a three-day visit to Gorakhpur, followed by the current trip to Lucknow, which the RSS says is part of the Sangh's centenary year outreach.
At an event in Lucknow on Tuesday, the RSS chief spoke on what he described as the declining Hindu population and coercion-based religious conversions, deporting infiltrators, as he made a pitch for Hindu unity.
This was the second and concluding day of the RSS chief's visit.
