The former CM will also be visiting Lucknow on Friday to attend the swearing-in of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a source close to her said.

Of late, amidst reports of the growing say of the BJP’s central leadership in state matters, there have been reports all’s not well between the party’s leadership and Raje who had been missing from several party events.
