The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will contest the coming Assembly elections in UP under the leadership of four leaders — former national president Rajnath Singh,national vice-president Kalraj Mishra,Uma Bharti and state president Surya Pratap Shahi — party president Nitin Gadkari said on Sunday.

He said the chief minister would be decided by the MLAs after the elections.The BJP president also said his party will contest the Assembly elections alone and will not make alliance with any party even after the polls.

Gadkari said after the ongoing Jan Swabhiman Yatras end,a meeting of the Central Parliamentary Board would be called and a list of candidates would be finalised.

The second phase of yatras,which begins on November 9,will conclude on November 17 at Ayodhya.

Addressing the media,Gadkari said he had got five different surveys conducted in the state by different agencies. “On the basis of these surveys,I can say that the BJP is the only option before UP voters who want a change in the state,” he said.

The party would give tickets to ‘winnable’ candidates and they have been identified on the basis of these surveys and reports of party leaders who visited all constituencies in the last few months. He accused the Congress of maligning the BJP among minorities. “We are against terrorists and not minorities. It is the Congress that projected a wrong image of the BJP before minorities,” he said.
