Assembly, Council presiding officers to be elected on August 14; BJP to boycott Speaker’s election
Assembly and Council presiding officers will be elected on August 14, but the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its intention to boycott the Speaker's election. Congress MLA Ron G.S. Patil has filed his nomination for the Speaker's post, submitted at the Assembly Secretary's office in Vidhana Soudha. The BJP claims the Congress high command "insulted" the Constitutional post and legislature by directly installing its candidate as Speaker through a letterhead.
Meanwhile, Congress MLC Saleem Ahmed has also filed his nomination for the post of Chairman of the Karnataka Legislative Council. The elections for both positions are scheduled for Friday.
