Legislature party leader to be picked after talks with BJP’s newly-elected MLAs: Rupani
Former Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani, one of the two BJP observers for its Maharashtra legislature party meeting, on Tuesday said the name of the legislature party leader will be finalised after talks with the party’s newly-elected MLAs.
Rupani, who arrived in Mumbai late this evening for the meeting BJP’s crucial legislature party to be held on Wednesday, said if there is unanimity, then only one name will be selected.
Speaking to reporters, Rupani said, “The government will be formed. Discussions with the elected MLAs will take place tomorrow. One name will be finalised and it will be announced later.” He said the process of finalising the leader of the BJP’s legislative party follows a set tradition within the party.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who is also an observer, will join Rupani in the talks.
