According to party sources, a crucial BJP legislative party meeting has been scheduled for 4:00 PM today, where the leader of the legislative party is expected to be formally chosen. Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been appointed as the central observer for the process and will attend the meeting. Mohan Charan Majhi has also been named co-observer, and both leaders are expected to play a key role in finalizing the decision.
