Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], December 10 (ANI): BJP central observer and Union Minister Arjun Munda, who has reached Raipur amid suspense over the party’s Chief Minister candidate in Chhattisgarh said that “there will be a meeting of the legislative party and the leader will be chosen.”

The other formalities will be completed soon… I will go there (Chhattisgarh) and the leader will be chosen in the legislative party meeting,” said Arjun Munda.
