Shah among 4 Union ministers deputed for govt. formation in 4 states

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Four Union ministers, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will go into a huddle with the newly elected MLAs over government formation in Uttar Pradesh, and to pick the new chief ministers in Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa, party sources said on Monday.

The Bharatiya Janata Party deputed Shah as observer to Uttar Pradesh, where Yogi Adityanath powered the party to an impressive victory and where there are no hurdles in the way of the priest-politician’s second stint in power.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has been appointed the observer for Uttarkhand, while Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Narendra Singh Tomar will supervise the selection of the leader of the BJP legislature parties in Manipur and Goa. The leaders are expected to visit the states assigned to them in the next few days.

Despite the BJP emerging as the single largest party in Goa with 20 MLAs in the 40-member assembly, and the assured support of two legislators of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party and three Independents, its legislators have not formally met so far to elect their leader.
