NDTV Special Coverage: BJP's Big Reveal On Delhi's New Chief Minister Expected Shortly
The name of Delhi's new Chief Minister - a position still vacant, 11 days after the Bharatiya Janata Party won the election - will be announced by this evening, party sources told NDTV Wednesday morning.
The selection process began at noon, when the BJP's Parliamentary Board - its highest decision-making body - met to decide on ex-Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and the party's National Secretary, Om Prakash Dhankar, as 'observers' for the gathering of newly-elected MLAs later today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi - whose trip to France and the United States delayed the selection process - led that meeting. The BJP's MLAs will now meet this evening - with Mr Prasad and Mr Dhankar present - to select their leader in the Assembly, who will become the Chief Minister.
