The deadline for submission of nomination papers for the post of Speaker had ended at 2 pm on Monday.

Till the stipulated time limit, only Mahana’s nomination paper was deposited in the office of the Principal Secretary, Vidhan Sabha.

Therefore, the announcement of the election of Satish Mahana for the post of Speaker of the Assembly had remained a formality.

Jansatta Dal Loktantrik President Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya along with his party MLA Vinod Kumar also supported Satish Mahana.
