Speaker to be elected on Monday, Narwekar likely to get second term

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: After the appointment of the chief minister and his two deputies, all eyes are on the election of the new Speaker of the Maharashtra assembly. Speaker to be elected on Monday, Narwekar likely to get second term Just as it did in its previous term, the Bharatiya Janata Party is likely to reserve the Speaker’s post for itself and nominate Rahul Narwekar for a second term, party insiders said. Narwekar, BJP MLA from Colaba, was speaker during the Mahayuti government’s previous term as well, and will be remembered for two landmark verdicts, one in favour of Eknath Shinde and the other in favour of Ajit Pawar in the disqualification petitions filed by their rival factions. Narwekar was appointed speaker in the previous Mahayuti government after the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government was toppled following a split in the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde in 2022. It was Narwekar who declared the Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party the ‘real’ parties, and ruled out any disqualification of their MLAs as demanded by the rival factions led by Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar, respectively.
