BJP throws hat in the ring for MP Assembly Speaker’s post

The election for the speaker's post, if needed, would be held on Tuesday. Congress' N P Prajapati, the MLA from Gotegaon, filed his nomination for the post at the Assembly secretariat.

The opposition BJP in Madhya Pradesh on Monday entered the race for the post of state Legislative Assembly Speaker even as the ruling Congress’ candidate filed his nomination for it. While Chief Minister Kamal Nath welcomed the BJP’s decision, a state minister said he was hopeful that the opposition party will withdraw its candidate as the state had the tradition of electing the speaker unanimously.

The election for the speaker’s post, if needed, would be held on Tuesday. Congress’ N P Prajapati, the MLA from Gotegaon, filed his nomination for the post at the Assembly secretariat. The BJP fielded former minister and Harsud MLA Vijay Shah, alleging that the Congress “deviated from the tradition in appointing the pro tem speaker”.

Shah, accompanied by former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other BJP leaders, also filed his nomination papers at the Assembly secretariat.

“Democracy is run by tradition. Madhya Pradesh has a long history of tradition. But, the Congress has deviated from the established traditions. The senior-most MLA (in the newly elected Assembly) should have been appointed as speaker, irrespective of his/her party,” BJP’s MP unit chief Rakesh Singh told reporters at the state party headquarters here.

He pointed out that newly-elected Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, the senior-most member of Parliament, was the Lok Sabha’s pro tem speaker. However, Nath welcomed the BJP’s decision to field its candidate for the speaker’s post. “I welcome their (BJP’s) decision. Everything will be clear tomorrow (Tuesday),” the chief minister told reporters when asked to comment on the matter.

Asked about allegations that the Congress deviated from tradition in appointing the senior-most MLA as pro tem speaker, Nath said he does not want any lessons on the issue from them (BJP).

Meanwhile, state Public Relations Minister P C Sharma expressed hope that the BJP will withdraw its candidate. “It has been a tradition in MP to elect the speaker unanimously. I hope the BJP will withdraw its candidate,” Sharma said.

New Zealand edge ahead on see-saw day

On Day 3 of their second Test versus Bangladesh in Hamilton, when fortunes swung back and forth, New Zealand edged ahead at close of play. The hosts were 38 for 2, still trailing by 173. After cleaning up the visiting side for just 211, the New Zealand camp would have hoped for a steady start. However, the pace duo of Abu Jayed and Ebadat Hossain combined to trouble New Zealand's openers. The pair extracted movement off the pitch with Jayed also generating a hint of swing to beat the bat of both Jeet Raval and Tom Latham on a few occasions. Eventually, Jayed was rewarded for his perseverance as from round the wicket he got one to curve away to dismiss Latham. Raval followed his partner back to the hut by lofting a sucker ball from Jayed to covers.

Among the two mainstays of New Zealand's batting order, Taylor took th...
