BJP to meet to decide on Jharkhand CM post

The suspense over who the next Chief Minister of Jharkhand will be is expected to get over today. The BJP parliamentary board will meet today to decide on a name. According to reports, front-runner for the post is Raghubar Das and not Arjun Munda. Meanwhile the party itself seems divided on the candidate. While Gadkari and Advani prefer Raghubar Das - as he was already Deputy Chief Minister in the Shibu Soren government, former BJP president Rajnath Singh prefers Arjun Munda who is the General Secretary in team Gadkari. Meanwhile the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha wants a tribal for the top post but an attempt is on to convince JMM to drop this demand.
