The opposition BJP in Madhya Pradesh on Monday entered the race for the post of state Legislative Assembly Speaker even as the ruling Congress' candidate filed his nomination for it. Congress' NP Prajapati, the MLA from Gotegaon, filed his nomination for the post at the Assembly secretariat. Shah, accompanied by former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other BJP leaders, also filed his nomination papers at the Assembly secretariat. He pointed out that newly-elected Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, the senior-most member of Parliament, was the Lok Sabha's pro tem speaker. Everything will be clear tomorrow (Tuesday)," the chief minister told reporters when asked to comment on the matter.
