Home Minister Rajnath Singh will travel to Mumbai after Diwali to meet the newly-elected BJP MLAs and decide on the leadership issue and government formation in Maharashtra.
“I am not going today. I think I will visit Mumbai after Diwali,” he told reporters in Delhi.
Mr. Singh will visit Mumbai as BJP observer along with senior leader J.P. Nadda to help the MLAs chose the leader of the BJP legislature party.
Asked whether there was any hurdle in the process of electing the BJP legislature party leader, Mr. Singh said, “There is no hurdle.”
The name of BJP’s Maharashtra chief Devendra Fadnavis has emerged as the possible choice for the Chief Minister’s post overcoming challenge from other veterans, including Eknath Khadse and Vinod Tawde.
