State Assembly awaits Speaker for last five months By Vikas Vaidya : A powerful leader from Nagpur may take the seat It was in February this year that Nana Patole had resigned from the post of Speaker of State Assembly. Since then the post is lying vacant. This is probably for the first time that such an important post like Speakers has not been filled. According to experts the post is likely to be filled in July during States Monsoon Session. Immediately after Patoles resignation political activities began as Congress did not want to lose its claim on such an important position. Congress MLA from Parbhani had started doing rounds. But Nationalist Congress Party Supremo Sharad Pawar had stated that the post had become free for everybody. Since then neither election was held nor anybody was appointed to the post. An expert who has his say in the administration of legislation said “With coronavirus pandemic around everything can run without Speaker. Secondly even if Speaker is not there they machinery can be run with Deputy Speaker. But Speakerss post should not remain vacant for such a long time.” Patoles resignation had surprised everyone then. Patole while talking to The Hitavada made it clear that he wants to build the party in State. But there is not much scope for him to make something concrete for the Party due to pandemic. According to highly placed sources now Patole wants either ministerial berth or guardian ministership of Nagpur or both. If the information disclosed by sources considered correct then Sunil Kedar Animal Husbandry Minister too is interested in becoming the Guardian Minister. Both Patole and Kedar are trying to get the things as per their wish-- means one would take the charge of Guardian Minister and other may get Energy portfolio. If their wish gets fulfilled then one strong leader from Nagpur may become Speaker. The name of this strong leader is doing round for the post of Speaker. When contacted Patole said “I have always remained loyal to the Party. I never opposed partys any decision. Obviously I would abide by the partys decision. I am ready to take any responsibility given to me by Party. I myself have never demanded any ministry. But if party asks me to do so I would abide by it.” Balasaheb Thorat also had the responsibility of Party President and portfolio too. Nana Patole is no exception. But next month State may witness major changes in the ministry especially related to Congress. Among the Mahavikas Aaghadi only Congress is said to be with several factions. The other parties-NCP and Shiv Sena are unite under one leader. It was thought that Patole may succeed in bringing all the factions of Congress together but in vain!
