March 17, 2017 12:39

BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit chief Keshav Prasad Maurya says the chief minister will be decided by tomorrow. Maurya has been credited for his role in the BJP's victory at the Uttar Pradesh polls. He discharged this morning from Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital following complaints of physical exertion.

Maurya is being seen as one of the strong contenders for the chief minister's post in Uttar Pradesh after the BJP's landslide win in the assembly polls.

BJP's national president, Amit Shah, also claimed that he had given Maurya the responsibility of "selecting the next Chief Minister". "We will give our stamp of approval to Keshav's pick", Shah said.
