BHOPAL: Mohan Yadav, the BJP MLA from Ujjain South, will be the new Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, where the saffron outfit has retained power after the just-held assembly polls, party sources said on Monday.
Yadav (58), an OBC leader, was elected as the BJP’s legislature party leader in Madhya Pradesh at a meeting in Bhopal held in the evening in the presence of central observers, they said. He was serving as minister for higher education in the outgoing Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s cabinet.
Earlier, three central observers of the BJP interacted with party MLAs and core committee members on Monday after reaching Bhopal to decide the next chief minister of Madhya Pradesh ahead of the crucial legislative party meeting.
The meeting started at 4 PM.
The central observers, including Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, OBC Morcha head K Laxman and secretary Asha Lakra, reached Bhopal by a special plane at around 11.30 am.
A meeting of the core committee was held at the state BJP headquarters where Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and senior leaders Narendra Singh Tomar, Prahlad Patel and Kailash Vijaywargiya were present, sources said.
The names of Tomar, Patel and Vijaywargiya were also doing the rounds for the post of chief minister.
Earlier in the day, Khattar, K Laxman and Lakra landed at Bhopal airport in a special plane where they were welcomed by MP BJP chief VD Sharma and other leaders.
From the airport, the three observers headed to the chief minister’s residence to meet CM Chouhan.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retained power in MP following the November 17 polls, winning 163 seats in the 230-member assembly, leaving the Congress a distant second with 66 seats.
The state BJP office was decked up with flowers and posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with the slogan “MP ke Man Mein Modi, Desh Ke Man Mein Modi”.
