Bengaluru: R. Ashoka, who as a student leader grabbed eyeballs and served imprisonment along with BJP patriarch L.K. Advani during the dark days of Emergency and later rose to become the Deputy Chief Minister of the State is all set to take over the mantle as Leader of Opposition in Legislative Assembly.
The five-decade long relentless struggle and experience in public life has catapulted Ashoka to the key post in Karnataka Legislature, that had generated heated debate for lying vacant even six months after the new Government came to power in the State in May 2023.
