Hectic lobbying on in Haryana BJP for CM's post

October 20, 2014 17:11

Hectic lobbying was on behind the curtains in Haryana BJP for the post of chief minister, who is "likely" to take oath on October 22 even as the party high command has kept its cards close to its chest.

Amid the last minute attempts to stake claim for the post of Chief Minister in Haryana, a meeting of the newly elected 47 party MLAs has been convened in Chandigarh tomorrow.

The meeting will be chaired by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu and party vice president Dinesh Sharma, who have been appointed observers by the BJP's Parliamentary Board for deciding on who will be the CM of Haryana.
