Backed by BJP, Nitin Agarwal all set to be elected UP Assembly Deputy Speaker 

Backed up the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitin Agarwal is all set to be the deputy speaker of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly.

Nitin Agarwal, who was elected as a legislator on the Samajwadi Party ticket but then cozied up to the ruling BJP, is all set to be the deputy speaker of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly with the support of the saffron party.

A miffed Samajwadi Party, which has fielded Narendra Verma as its official candidate for the contest that is taking place just months ahead of the 2022 assembly polls, hit out at the BJP, accusing it of trying to sabotage democracy, and asserted that the post should traditionally go to the opposition party.
