Shiv Sena (UBT) Calls for Leader of Opposition Appointment
Imagine the Maharashtra assembly is like a school.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) party wants their person, Bhaskar Jadhav, to be the "class representative" or Leader of Opposition.
They believe the government and the "principal" (speaker) should choose him.
Jadhav says there's no good reason for the delay and that his party, along with its allies, supports him.
The party thinks it's unfair that this important role has been empty for a long time and worries that the government might not want an opposition leader.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Bhaskar Jadhav says appointing the Leader of Opposition (LoP) is the joint responsibility of the state government and the speaker.
Jadhav's name has been recommended by Shiv Sena (UBT) for the LoP post.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) claims no technical hurdles prevent the appointment.
Jadhav states his party has the most MLAs within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
Jadhav believes the continued delay in appointing the LoP raises questions about the government's intent.
