Rajnath's security personnel visit UP. Will he be next CM?

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's security personnel visited the official residence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister on Wednesday, sources said.

5-It is Rajnath Singh who may just be appointed as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. After a massive win in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to live up to the expectations of the people in this kingmaker state and hence the name of Rajnath has been doing the rounds.

Many in the BJP and RSS feel that Rajnath who has had the experience of running UP in the past may be the best choice. Both Amit Shah and Rajnath have discussed this issue and there is a possibility of the latter being relieved of his responsibility as home minister and being sent to UP.

On Tuesday Modi met with another frontrunner Keshav Prasad Maurya. Sources say that the discussion was related to who would be the next CM of UP. The BJP feels that UP should be run by an experienced person. Moreover the BJP wants a face in UP who can cater to all communities and Rajnath fits the bill well.

The others in the race are Mauyra, Manoj Sinha, Yogi Adityanath and Mahesh Sharma. The BJP is expected to make its decision on its UP candidate on Wednesday.
