June 19, 2013 11:22

BJP nominates Sushil Modi as its leader in the Legislative Council and Nand Kishore Yadav as its leader in the legislative Assembly.

Yadav will be the Leader of the Opposition in state Assembly as BJP is now the main opposition after JD(U) snapped ties with it.

He was the road and highways minister in the JD(U)-BJP government led by Nitish Kumar. JD(U) walked out of the NDA on June 16 on the issue of appointment of Narendra Modi as head of BJP Election Campaign Committee.

Reports suggest that the Congress is likely to vote for Nitish Kumar. The Congress has four legislators. The voting is likely to take place at 2 pm.
