The state level core committee headed by state BJP president Keshri Nath Tripathi would meet here after Holi possibly on March 7 to decide on the panel of three candidates for each constituency.

The panels would be sent to the CEC to finalise the candidate in the presence of national party president Rajnath Singh.

The core committee comprises senior leaders like Kalyan Singh, the projected chief ministerial candidate, legislator party leader Lalji Tandon, Rajya Sabha members Vinay Katiyar and Kalraj Mishra, Om Prakash Singh and general secretary (organisation) Ram Das.
