The suspense over who the next chief minister of Jharkhand will be is expected to get over today. The BJP Parliamentary party board will meet today in New Delhi to decide a name. AIR correspondent reports Raghubar Das and Arjun Munda are the front runners for the top post in the state. The BJP central leadership, which was said to be keen on having a non-tribal chief minister to lead the state, may have to settle for a tribal face to keep intact its support base. The Shibu Soren led Jharkhand government was hit by a crisis after BJP decided to withdraw support on April 28 after the JMM leader voted against the opposition sponsored cut motions in the Lok Sabha. <br/>
