Harsh Vardhan named BJP's CM candidate for Delhi
Ending uncertainty, the BJP on Wednesday (Oct 23) named Harsh Vardhan as the party's Chief Ministerial candidate for the December 4 Delhi Assembly elections despite opposition by city unit chief Vijay Goel who had staked claim for the post.
The decision was taken at a meeting of party's Parliamentary Board New Delhi.
Party president Rajnath Singh made the announcement at press conference and said the decision was unanimous and that Goel also consented to it.
Singh was flanked by several senior leaders including veteran L K Advani, senior leaders Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Ananth Kumar and Delhi Election in-charge Nitin Gadkari. Goel and Vardhan were also both present at the press conference.
All members of the Parliamentary Board were in the meeting except Narendra Modi who has given his consent to the decision, party sources said.
