BJP To Form Governments In Four Recently-Won States After Holi: Sources

Uncertainty over Chief Ministers in Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand are still continuing for various reasons.

The BJP will form governments in the four states it won in the recently concluded elections after Holi (March 18), sources said today. Chief Ministers for Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur will reportedly be chosen after the festival. 

The party is coordinating between states to organise swearing-in ceremonies in such a way that senior leaders can comfortably attend them in all four states. 

A meeting of MLAs, to be supervised by senior party leaders Dharmendra Pradhan and Piyush Goyal, has been called in Uttarakhand the day after Holi. The oath-taking ceremony in the hill state might be held on March 20. 

The newly-elected MLAs in Manipur are taking oath today. Those in Goa will do it tomorrow. State assemblies have been dissolved in both these states.
