Jaipur, Dec 3 (SocialNews.XYZ) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda has called a meeting in Delhi to take a decision on the next chief minister of Rajasthan -- the state where the saffron party wrested power back from the Congress.
A source said that senior BJP leaders have already held several meetings to discuss the matter.
Nadda has sought feedback from Rajasthan unit president CP Joshi, and election in-charge Pralhad Joshi.
Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has been called to Delhi.
Sources said that Baba Balaknath has also been called to the national capital.
BJP will formally stake claim to form the government after getting the nod from the central party leadership.
A meeting would also be held in Jaipur to discuss the next chief minister and government formations.
Currently, leaders considered as CM faces have distanced themselves from any kind of show of power.
Senior BJP leaders are now waiting for the high command's stand for a decision on the Rajasthan chief ministerial name.
There will be an announcement regarding the new chief minister at the BJP legislature party meeting.
There has been a tradition in the BJP to announce the name of the Chief Minister in the legislature party meeting itself.
