Yogi Adityanath Swearing-in Ceremony LATEST Updates: Amid the suspense over Yogi Adityanath’s new cabinet, some MLAs visited the chief minister designate’s residence in an indication that they might be asked to take the oath here later on Friday. It’s a big day for the Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh. Yogi Adityanath will be sworn-in as the chief minister of the state after a historic win in the state Assembly elections.

On Thursday, senior office-bearers of the ruling party, including UP BJP president Swatantra Dev Singh, general secretary Govind Narayan Shukla, JPS Rathore and Amarpal Maurya, visited the stadium to oversee preparations and seating arrangements for the party workers. Ahead of the event, Lucknow Traffic Police on Thursday issued a traffic diversion plan, which will be in effect till 10 pm on Friday. “All vehicles except the attendee vehicles will be diverted to other routes in the city. Traffic from Ayodhya to Barabanki would be diverted to Chinhut circle,” stated an official release by Lucknow Traffic Police. Traffic from the city to Bareilly will be diverted towards Hazrat Ganj circle where they can take an exit from the jail road. All civil vehicles including public transport would be completely restricted around the stadium. Separate route diversion and parking spaces have been allotted by the officials so as to keep the traffic in check. In Lucknow, all the crossings will be decorated with flowers and lights. The stretch from the airport to the stadium and from the stadium to BJP state headquarters will also be decorated and illuminated. The main stage will have a massive banner featuring Modi, Nadda, Rajnath Singh, Shah and Adityanath. Besides the stadium chairs, 20,000 chairs have been placed on the turf to accommodate the invitees. The proceedings of the ceremony will be shown live on a large LED wall so that the audience can view them clearly.
