Fadnavis Opp leader in House
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was on Sunday named Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly, while Congress MLA Nana Patole was elected Speaker of the House.
Patole, 57, who was earlier in the day elected unopposed as the Speaker after BJP’s Kisan Kathore withdrew from the fray, announced that Fadnavis is the new Leader of Opposition in the Assembly.
“It is poetic justice that those who wanted non- existence of the Opposition will now have to work as an effective Opposition,” Patole said.
