Monday is the D-Day for the announcement of the Chief Ministers for Uttarakhand and Goa, 11 days after the results of the Assembly polls saw the BJP return to power in both States, but political complications and timing issues having delayed the announcement. In both States, meetings of the legislature parties have been scheduled for Monday to elect the Chief Minister.
In Uttarakhand, the BJP faces a unique quandary of having a majority in the Assembly but with their chief ministerial–face through the election, Pushkar Singh Dhami, having lost his seat.
Intense meetings were held among the BJP top brass in Delhi including long meetings chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to go into the signals that appointing or disappointing Mr. Dhami were likely to be.
