Suspense over Madhya Pradesh CM could end on Sunday

Days after the BJP pulled off an emphatic win in Madhya Pradesh assembly polls, the suspense over the state's chief minister is likely to end on Sunday when the party's 163 newly elected legislators are expected to meet to pick their leader in the presence of central observers. The BJP on Friday appointed Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, its OBC 'Morcha' head K Laxman and its secretary Asha Lakra as central observers for electing the leader of its legislative party in Madhya Pradesh. The meeting of the newly elected MLAs is likely to take place on Sunday, a state senior functionary of BJP told PTI over the phone.
