Legislative Party meet held to decide the next CM of Chhattisgarh

A key meeting of the BJP's newly-elected 54 MLAs in Chhattisgarh to pick the legislative party leader will be held here on Sunday which is likely to end the suspense over who will be the next Chief Minister.

Speculations are doing rounds on who will get to don the mantle of the Chief Minister in view of the BJP contesting the recent polls without declaring any CM face.

"The BJP's legislative party meeting will take place on Sunday. The party's three observers - Union ministers Arjun Munda and
Sarbananda Sonowal, and party general secretary Dushyant Kumar Gautam - will be present," BJP state unit president Arun Sao told reporters on Saturday.

BJP's Chhattisgarh in-charge Om Mathur, Union minister Mansukh Mandaviya and party co-incharge for the state Nitin Nabin  attended the meet, he added.

In the recently-held state assembly elections, the BJP won 54 of the 90 seats and the Congress 35. The Gondwana Gantantra Party (GGP) managed to win one seat.
It was speculated that the BJP might go for an OBC or a tribal Chief Minister if it doesn't pick party stalwart Raman Singh, who served as CM thrice from 2003 to 2018.
