UP Chief Minister to be announced on March 16
New Delhi, Mar 13 (IBNS): The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh will be announced on March 16, which remains a mystery even after the parliamentary meeting of Bharatiya Janata Party members.
BJP swept the UP election with 325 out of 403 existing seats, upsetting the likes of the Congress-SP alliance and the Mayawati-led BSP.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah met other members of the Parliamentary committee of the party and discussed various contenders for the post.
Several names doing the rounds include BJP state president Keshav Prasad Maurya, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and a firm supporter of Hindutava, Yogi Adityanath.
Maurya however is the most likely to get the nod since he is seen as the prime architect behind BJP's success in UP by political analyst.
