The suspense over the appointment of new Chief Minister in Rajasthan following the BJP’s victory in the recent State Assembly election will be over on December 12, when a Legislature Party meeting will be convened here to nominate the leader of the ruling party. The much-awaited exercise follows the selection of Mohan Yadav as the Madhya Pradesh CM on Monday.
The newly elected BJP MLAs were informed about the meeting and instructed to “compulsorily” attend it, party’s State general secretary Bhajan Lal Sharma said here on Monday. The BJP’s central leadership is expected to reveal its choice at the meeting and seek concurrence of the legislators for the Chief Minister-designate’s name.
Three observers appointed by the party, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, will be in attendance at the meeting, which will start after the registration of all MLAs. The two other observers are Rajya Sabha Member Saroj Pandey and BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde.
