Maha dilemma on LoP post to Cong

THE Congress would have to wait to get the post of the leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra House even though it is the single largest party with 45 MLAs.

Assembly speaker Rahul Narvekar has conveyed to a Congress delegation that officially, he has no record of a split having taken place in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). As per his record, the NCP remains the largest opposition bloc with 54 MLAs in the 288-member Assembly.

The Speaker sought more time to check the legal status of the NCP and the appointment of the LoP.

Earlier on Tuesday, a state Congress team consisting of the party's legislature party leader Balasaheb Thorat and former party chief minister Ashok Chavan, Mumbai Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad met the Speaker and him to appoint party MLA Vijay Wadettiwar as LoP.
