KOLKATA: The parliamentary board of BJP, likely to meet on Monday, may select the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly by evening.
On Saturday, the parliamentary board appointed two observers, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Bhupendra Yadav, for electing the leader of the opposition. Both Prasad and Yadav will hold meetings with the legislators and ask for their individual preferences. “After they voice their preferences, the observers will convey that to the parliamentary board, which will take the decision,” said a senior leader.
A few names, including national vice-president Mukul Roy, Suvendu Adhikari and Manoj Tigga, are doing the rounds. “The name of Santipur MLA Jagannath Sarkar can also be considered,” said a Bengal leader.
West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has sanctioned the prosecution of former ministers and TMC top brass Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, Madan Mitra and Sovan Chatterjee in the Narada scam being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). After taking note of media reports that Governor of the State of West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar has accorded sanction for prosecution in respect of persons who happened to be members of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, it is made categorically apparent that Governor of the State of West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar accorded sanction for prosecution in respect of Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, Madan Mitra and Sovan Chatterjee, for the reason that all of them at the relevant time of commission of crime were holding the position of Ministers in the Government of West Bengal, the Raj Bhavan said in a release on Sunday.
