Ramvachan Rai set to get the post
However, it is almost certain that under the power-sharing formula decided after the formation of the new government in Bihar, after the post of Chairman of the Legislative Council comes to the share of JDU, Ramvachan Rai, who comes from the EBC community, will be the next chairman. After the post of Chief Minister and the Speaker’s chair was with the BJP, there was talk of JD(U)’s claim for the post of Chairman of the Legislative Council. According to NDA sources, an “agreement” has been reached between the BJP and the JD(U) that the leader of either party will be made the head of one house each.
