Thursday is the last day to intimate the Chhattisgarh Assembly Secretariat about the name of the new Leader of Opposition and BJP’s Central Observer will declare the name of the leader.
After being Chief Minister for 15 years, Dr Raman Singh is reportedly reluctant of being the Leader of Opposition and his choice is said to be BJP State President, Dharamlal Kaushik who has been elected from Bilha assembly constituency.
Other than Kaushik, senior leaders Brijmohan Agrawal and Ajay Chandrakar are also in the race.
Among the 15 legislators elected from BJP, the numbers are said to be with Brijmohan Agarwal whereas the senior tribal leader Nankiram Kanwar had also presented his candidature demanding that Leader of Opposition this time should be from tribal community.
Meanwhile, as per information the picture might be clear by Thursday afternoon after declaration from the BJP’s Central Observer.
Kaushik hinted that the decision of the Observer would be final as he would be coming with the name finalized by the party high command in New Delhi.
