Lucknow, Mar 18 (IBNS) : Newly-elected BJP MLAs in Uttar Pradesh will meet in Lucknow on Saturday to elect the leader of the state legislature party, who will be the state's Chief Minister, reports said.

The meeting coincides the swearing-in of the new Chief Minister and his cabinet in neighbouring Uttarakhand.

Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu and national general secretary Bhupendra Yadav will attend the meeting to elect the Legislature Party Leader.

As speculations run high over the Chief Ministerial candidates, the names of  Union Minister Manoj Sinha, Home Minister and former state chief minister Rajnath Singh, Maurya and eight-time MLA from Shahjahanpur Suresh Khanna are doing rounds.

In the  Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the BJP recorded a landslide victory by winning 312 of the state's 403 seats.
