Delhi Oath Ceremony On Thursday, BJP Yet To Name CM
The new Delhi Chief Minister - identity as yet unknown since the Bharatiya Janata Party, which thumped the Aam Aadmi Party 48-22 in this month's election, has not named anyone - will take oath at 4.30 pm Thursday, sources told NDTV this afternoon.
The venue, also not yet announced, is likely to be the city's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
The 48 newly-elected BJP Delhi MLAs are expected to meet Wednesday to select their leader, who will then likely replace the AAP's Atishi as Delhi's new Chief Minister.
Last week BJP sources told NDTV efforts to form the new Delhi government had been put on hold till Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned from his trip to France and the United States.
