BJP calls MLA meeting; next CM could be decided
The preparations for the formation of a new government are also in full swing after the BJP’s thumping majority in the 2022 assembly elections. After the defeat of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami from Khatima assembly seat, the central leadership of BJP has started searching for the Chief Minister. Before announcing the chief minister’s name, the BJP has also called a meeting of the legislature party on March 20.
It is believed that in the meeting of the MLA’s itself, the names of the cabinet ministers including the chief minister will be approved. After the thumping majority, the BJP has three options each for the selection of the Chief Minister. In the first option, one of the MLAs can be given the responsibility of the post of CM.
In the second option, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami can be re-trusted, whereas, in the third option, the command of Uttarakhand can be handed over to the non-MLA MP. In Uttarakhand, the BJP has also suffered a lot for giving three chief ministers in the last five years. In such a situation, now the BJP high command will choose the Chief Minister very carefully.
The picture is not yet clear on who will be the next Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. But, the swearing-in ceremony of the Chief Minister is going to be very special. If political sources are to be believed, then many big political figures including PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda can attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new government.
