The newly elected BJP MLAs will meet here at 11 am tomorrow in the presence of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and party’s general secretary in-charge of the state J P Nadda to elect their leader. “After the legislature party leader is elected, we will call on Governor C Vidyasagar Rao and stake claim to form government tomorrow itself,” BJP general secretary Rajiv Pratap Rudy told PTI. State BJP president Devendra Fadnavis, 44, is being seen as clear favourite for Chief Minister’s post. According to party sources, the new government will be sworn in on October 31 in the presence of top central leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several of his Cabinet colleagues and BJP Chief Ministers. “The people have given mandate to BJP. It has got more seats. It is our duty (to lend support to BJP). Sena’s support will always be there for a Chief Minister who works in the interest of Maharashtra,” he said.
