Congress MLAs will meet in Shimla on Friday to decide on the Chief Minister, after registering a victory in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls. The Himachal Congress Legislature Party meeting will be held today at 3 pm at State Congress Headquarters Rajiv Bhawan. Himachal Pradesh Congress in-charge Rajeev Shukla, and observers Bhupesh Baghel and Bhupendra Hooda will also be present in the meeting.

 

The legislators are likely to pass a resolution and authorize the party's high command to take the final call on the chief minister. The Congress, which has not projected a chief ministerial candidate in the hill state, was earlier planning a meeting of its legislators in Chandigarh but later changed its plans after getting a clear majority.
