BJP throws hat in the ring for MP Assembly Speaker's post

January 07, 2019 15:08

The opposition BJP in Madhya Pradesh on Monday entered the race for the post of state Legislative Assembly Speaker even as the ruling Congress' candidate filed his nomination for it.

While Chief Minister Kamal Nath welcomed the BJP's decision, a state minister said he was hopeful that the opposition party will withdraw its candidate as the state had the tradition of electing the speaker unanimously. The election for the speaker's post, if needed, would be held on Tuesday. -- PTI
