New Delhi, Sept 28 : All eyes could be on the ensuing Gujarat polls but both the Congress and the BJP are heading for an equally and crucial fight in Himachal Pradesh as well.
The BJP is keen to bounce back to power riding the anti-incumbency wave but is not in a position to name the Chief Ministerial face yet owing to intra-party differences and also RSS leadership indicating to put their weight behind a candidate of their choice.
Besides former Chief Minister P K Dhumal, the party leaders have been toying the name of Union Health Minister J P Nadda for quite sometime.
Apparently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi too is likely to back Mr Nadda, whose performance as Union Health Minister has been “impressive”, according to BJP sources.
The BJP – however – has to deal with the RSS as the Sangh fountainhead is likely to push Ajay Jamwal while the state unit chief Satpal Satti too is being considered.(UNI)
