BJP leader Jagdish Mukhi declines to be pro-tem Speaker of Delhi Assembly

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jagdish Mukhi has declined to be the pro-tem Speaker of Delhi Assembly.

The decision in this regard was taken by Mukhi after he received a letter from Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung about his appointment as a pro-tem Speaker in Delhi assembly.

According to reports, neither Mukhi nor any BJP MLA will become the pro-tem Speaker.

The pro-tem speaker administers oath to all newly-elected MLAs.

Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government will seek a vote of confidence on January 3 on the floor of Delhi Assembly.
