The swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected BJP government in Uttar Pradesh will be held in Lucknow on March 25, a senior government official said on Friday.

This will be the second consecutive term for Yogi Adityanath, who created history for his party returning to power in the state after a successful five-year tenure.

The BJP won 255 seats in the 403-member assembly and its allies won 18 seats.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and former Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das have been made the observer and co-observer, respectively for the government formation in Uttar Pradesh.

The list of ministers who will take oath will be finalised when Adityanath reaches Lucknow from Gorakhpur.

Senior BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP national president J P Nadda and other central ministers will attend the event, according to reports.
