BJP state chief Chandrakant Patil, on the other hand, recommended Kisan Kathore as the party candidate for the Speaker's elections.

The BJP has accused the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of violating rules for the appointment of Protem speaker.

"They changed the Protem speaker from Kalidas Kolambkar to Dilip Walse Patil which is legally wrong. The oath was also not taken as per rules, the new Govt is violating all rules," Chandrakant Patil said adding that the BJP will be filing petition with the Governor and might also approach the Supreme Court.
