Asked if the name of the Chief Minister for Uttar Pradesh was finalised, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters: "You need not worry. UP will get a capable Chief Minister."
Various programmes have been planned across the country from April 6 — the day when the BJP was formed — to April 14, the birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar.
"Cleanliness drives and processions to create awareness about BHIM App — a digital payment application — will be held. BJP MPs will also participate in these events," the leader added.
