NEW DELHI: Home minister Rajnath Singh will visit to Mumbai after Diwali to meet the newly elected BJP MLAs and decide on the leadership issue and Govt. formation in Maharashtra.

Rajnath said: I am not going today. I think I will visit Mumbai after Deepawali.

Rajnath Singh will visit Mumbai as BJP observer along with senior leader JP Nadda to help the MLAs chose the leader of the BJP legislature party.

Rajnath Singh and JP Nadda were supposed to visit Mumbai on Monday as part of the decision of the BJP parliamentary party but they decided to defer the tour.

Asked whether there was any hurdle in the process of electing the BJP legislature party leader, Singh said, “There is no hurdle”.

So far, BJP has not taken any decision on the chief minister of Maharashtra.
