New Delhi: In a significant development, BS Yediyurappa, the senior BJP leader, said that Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and party General Secretary Vinod Tawade have been appointed as central observers. Their primary task is to oversee the election process of the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Karnataka state assembly.

Late Sunday night, Yediyurappa informed reporters that the central party leaders had entrusted the responsibility of selecting the LoP to Vinod Tawade and Mansukh Mandaviya, who will soon travel to Bengaluru for this purpose.
