The BJP is all set to script history in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections with trends showing that the party may cross even the 300-mark in the state. The BJP did not project any chief ministerial candidate ahead of the elections and relied heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity and campaigning. With the BJP set to cross two-thirds majority in the state, the first big challenge that the party faces is selecting a chief minister. Here's a look at who are the front-runners for the top job in UP. Other CM probables are also waiting for word from Delhi. "The BJP Parliamentary Board will take a decision on he Chief Ministerial candidate and we will accept that," said Yogi Adityanath, BJP member of Parliament and head priest of the famous Gorakhnath temple in UP's Gorakhpur. The Yogi's supporters have been pushing for the 46 year old to be made Uttar Pradesh chief minister.
Union minsters Manoj Sinha and Mahesh Sharma and senior BJP leader Sidharth Nath Singh are also said to be on the list, as is the state's BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya.
Dinesh Sharma, known to be extremely close to both PM Modi and Amit Shah, ticks several boxes for the BJP. The 53-year-old professor of commerce at Lucknow University is non-controversial and is known as an affable person who gets along with everyone. He is from the BJP's crucial "upper caste" support base and his appointment will help the party balance the appointment as state chief of Mr Maurya, an Other Backward Castes (OBC) leader.
Mr Sharma, who was also in charge of BJP campaign in Gujarat, is also said to be backed by the BJP's ideological mentor the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
He took the number of BJP members in UP from about a crore to more than 11 crores, said to be a ig reason for his high stock with the party leadership.
The BJP did not project a presumptive chief minister in UP, seeking votes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development agenda and in his name. The strategy, questioned by many, has brought the party rich dividends today.
The BJP's highest decision making body the parliamentary board will meet this evening to take stock of the election results and decide on chief ministers in the states it has won.
