Shimla : The BJP ticket aspirants waited with bated breath for the declaration of candidates for the 68 Assembly seats of Himachal Pradesh as a meeting of the party’s central parliamentary board continued till late into the night in New Delhi. The party high command, however, withheld the list till tomorrow.Earlier, the central election committee of the party met to finalise the candidates and sources said that names for more than 55 seats have been finalised. BJP circles were agog with reports that some Congress ministers and MLAs are likely to join the party, but there was no confirmation. Sources said the seats where the BJP did not have potential candidates might be offered to those aspirants. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 6 pm but as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived late, it got delayed. The fate of BJP MLAs Narender Thakur and Dr Anil Dhiman, who won the bypolls from Sujanpur and Bhoranj, and Maheshwar Singh, the lone Himachal Lokhit Party MLA who merged the party with the BJP, is also hanging in balance. There are 28 MLAs of the BJP in the 68-member House, while three Independents have supported the party.
