The process of selection of the Leader of the Opposition by the BJP central leadership appears to have reached the final stage with the two observers deputed by the high command completing the process of eliciting views of senior leaders and legislators on Tuesday. With this, the ball is now in the party high command’s court, as they have to take a call based on the inputs from the observers.
The party State leaders are expecting an announcement on Wednesday. However, there is no official word yet by the central leadership on the process of selection.
The two Central observers — Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and party national general secretary Vinod Tawde — arrived in Bengaluru on Tuesday and held consultations at the party office with senior leaders, MLAs, office-bearers, and heads of frontal organisations.
