BJP Parl board to decide Bihar CM: Shahanwaz

Amid uncertainty over BJP’s chief ministerial face in Bihar assembly polls due later this year, the party’s national spokesman <g data-gr-id="17">Shahanwaz</g> Hussain on Thursday said a decision on it will be taken by its Parliamentary board.

There are a number of leaders like Sushil Kumar Modi, Nandkishore Yadav, state unit BJP chief Mangal Pandey and some central ministers from Bihar who could be projected as the chief ministerial candidate, he told newspersons here.

However, the decision whether or not to project BJP's chief ministerial candidate for Bihar Assembly polls rests entirely in the hands of the party's Parliamentary board comprising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders. He said more than projecting its CM face the immediate challenge before the party is to win the Bihar elections.

"We will accomplish our party president Amit Shah's 'Bihar Mission' and win at least 185 seats out of the total 243 in Bihar in the assembly polls this year," Hussain said.
