Veteran BJP leader Nand Kishore Yadav was elected as the Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav escorted the new speaker to the Chair.
Mr. Yadav, a seven-time MLA from Patna Sahib assembly constituency had filed his nomination for the Speaker's post on February 13, a day after his predecessor, Awadh Bihari Choudhary of the RJD, was voted out in a no-confidence motion.
