Ending uncertainty, BJP has announced the name of former Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan as its Chief Ministerial candidate for Delhi Assembly polls notwithstanding strong opposition from its city unit head
Vijay Goel. The decision on Vardhan's name was taken by the party's parliamentary board today.

Goel has already been informed about the party's move to nominate the four-time MLA for the top post. Goel had reportedly threatened to resign from the post of Delhi unit president when told about the likelihood of Harsh Vardhan being made the Chief Ministerial candidate.

Goel had on Monday sought an early decision on the issue but remained non-committal on supporting Vardhan if the former health minister was named for the post.
