After BJP's defeat in Lok Sabha by-elections in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur and Phulpur constituencies, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today cancelled his scheduled visit here because of "unavoidable reasons" and sent his deputy Dinesh Sharma in his place.
Adityanath was scheduled to take part in the ongoing All India Lok Kala Sangam at Deendayal Shodh Sansthan today.
The organisers of the programme said that the chief minister's visit has been put off due to unavoidable reasons.
Meanwhile, on BJP's loss in the bye-elections, the deputy chief minister said, "Victory and defeat are part of politics...the party had posted an impressive win in the local body elections prior to this."
