Uttarakhand BJP legislators to meet on Monday to elect new leader
Besides Shah, BJP president JP Nadda and general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh were also present in the meeting that lasted more than an hour.
Kaushik, who also attended the meeting, said the BJP legislative party will meet Monday evening after the MLAs have taken the oath as members of the state assembly.
Earlier in the day, Dhami said the process of government formation is underway and the BJP’s central leadership will take a call on the next chief minister.
The party has appointed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as the observer for government formation in the state.
The BJP, despite its emphatic win, has been in a bit of quandary over the new chief minister as Dhami, who spearheaded its successful campaign, lost his Khatami seat.
A section of the party’s state unit still wants Dhami as the chief minister, while some favour a change.
The BJP clinched 47 seats in the 70-member Assembly.
