However, as per sources, Tarkishore Prasad, who was elected as the BJP`s legislature party leader on Sunday, is likely to get the post.

As the NDA secured the majority in the recently held election, winning 125 seats in the 243-member Bihar Assembly, the BJP was the clear leader in the combine with 74 seats, against the

Janata Dal-United`s 43 and eight in the kitty of smaller allies, VIP and HAM. 

Following this, the party`s central leadership wants to change its face in the state, while also claiming a bigger stake in the new cabinet.
Sushil Modi has already congratulated Prasad. 
"Being a party worker of BJP for the last 40 years no one can take away the party worker`s post from me," Modi said in a tweet.

At present, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who was the party in charge for the October-November polls, has been given the responsibility to negotiate with Nitish Kumar.
