MP Governor Lalji Tandon wants Speaker to quit

With the BJP waiting in the wings to form the government in Madhya Pradesh, Governor Lalji Tandon on Sunday wrote a stern letter to Speaker Narmada Prasad Prajapati telling him to quit his post as per convention. The Governor said by convention the Speaker must quit once the party that elected him loses power. A BJP delegation had called on the Governor on Saturday to complain about the Speaker who accepted the resignation of BJP legislator Sharad Kole. The BJP which was clamoring for early acceptance of 22 Congress legislators in absentia complained that Kole’s resignation was accepted in haste. Kole had handed the paper personally but subsequently e-mailed a message against the acceptance of his resignation. (IANS)
