Some newly elected BJP MLAs met senior party leader and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje at her Civil Lines residence on Sunday, amid suspense over whom the party will pick for the Chief Minister post in the state.
The BJP is yet to announce the meeting of the legislature party to choose its leader, who will be the Chief Minister. Nearly 10 MLAs, including Ajay Singh and Babu Singh, were at Raje's residence, sources in the party said.
Ms. Raje, a two-time Chief Minister, is among the frontrunners for the CM post.
Earlier, on Monday and Tuesday, several BJP MLAs had met Ms. Raje and the meetings were seen as a show of strength. She was recently in Delhi, where she also met the BJP president JP Nadda.
The party has already announced three observers, including Union Minister Rajnath Singh, to oversee the legislature party meeting.
