“It is possible that BJP MLA R. Ashok has won the post of Leader of Opposition in the Assembly after bidding for it in an open tender,” Minister for Kannada and Culture Shivaraj Tangadagi said in Bagalkot on Thursday.
He was here to participate in the Bovi community convention.
BJP leaders, including Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, have on earlier occasions said that BJP leaders who have been aspiring for the post of Chief Minister and Cabinet slots should get them only against monetary considerations, the Minister said.
