Though denying he was in the race for any post, Bhatt said he was ready for any responsibility which the party deems fit to assign him.
However, Bhatt said BJP was a very disciplined party and whoever gets the stamp of approval of the partys Parliamentary Board will be the chief minister. Bhatt thanked people of the state for voting overwhelmingly in favour of the BJP and powering it to a "historic" win.
