Several names including those of Amit Shah, BJP national general secretary and Modi's pointsman in key battleground state of Uttar Pradesh, and senior ministers Anandi Patel, Nitin Patel, Saurabh Patel besides organising secretary of the state party Bhiku Dalsania are doing the rounds as possible successor to the incumbent Gujarat CM.
Nitin Patel and Dalsania have openly expressed their willingness to take up the top job.
“I am ready to be Chief Minister if the party asks me to take up the job,” Patel had told PTI.
“If you ask this question to any MLA that are you ready to be the chief minister, he will reply in the affirmative. If you ask Virat Kohli would he like to be captain of India, obviously he would not say no,” Patel said.
Dalsania had also said that he was ready to take up the job if the party so decided.
