While preparations are underway for the swearing-in ceremony, the party has not yet announced who will be the Chief Minister of Delhi.
The Delhi BJP legislature party will meet on Wednesday to decide the next chief minister of the national capital, with the swearing-in ceremony scheduled on Thursday, sources said.
Several meetings and deliberations have been taking place to decide which leader will be getting the top post since the saffron party clinched a big win in the recently concluded assembly elections by defeating the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

This time the BJP has promised the people of Delhi to clean the river Yamuna, for which the work has already commenced with a four point plan.
The saffron party has assured that now the city will move ahead on the road to development.
The BJP had undertaken a spirited poll campaign based on the corruption plank, and hit out at the AAP over its party leaders’ alleged role in the excise policy scam.
