Ravi Shankar Prasad said the BJP's parliamentary board will take a decision on who will be the next chief minister after the election results are announced.
Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said the party's parliamentary board will take a decision on who will be the next chief minister of Madhya Pradesh after it wins the November 17 assembly elections and forms a government in the state.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's move of fielding seven Lok Sabha members, including three Union ministers - Narendra Singh Tomar, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Prahlad Patel - and also party's general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya for the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls has signalled that has kept options open for the state's top post.
Addressing a press conference here, former Union minister Prasad said, "It is the tradition of the party that the parliamentary board takes the decision...And opinion of MLAs will be taken when the government is formed. A deserving person will become the chief minister."
