Future of BJP in Uttar Pradesh very good, says Nitin Gadkari

The future of BJP in Uttar Pradesh is very good, Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said asking people not to worry about it.

"You don't worry. Our future is very good," he said responding to a question about the upcoming Assembly elections in the state. Gadkari, a former president of BJP, was on a two-day visit here during which he met party workers and took stock of the political situation in the state ahead of the polls. BJP had bagged 73 of 80 Lok Sabha seats along with its ally Apna Dal in 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

However, after that it put up dismal shows in panchayat elections and some civic body polls. Gadkari also elicited views of senior party leaders on the issue of next UP BJP chief and whether to project someone as the party's chief ministerial candidate.
