Amit Shah arrives in city, holds talks to choose new CM

AHMEDABAD, Aug 4:
BJP national president Amit Shah today arrived in the city and initiated talks with party leaders at his residence as a part of an exercise to finalise the name of the successor of Anandiben Patel, who resigned as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
State BJP in-charge Dinesh Sharma and party treasurer Surendra Patel met Shah this morning upon his arrival here. The other top state leaders and ministers are expected to meet him in the evening.
Anandiben had yesterday submitted her resignation to the Governor, after the party’s parliamentary board in Delhi accepted her offer to resign, paving way for selection of a new Chief Minister for the BJP-ruled Gujarat, to lead the party in the 2017 state Assembly polls. (PTI)
