The BJP will take a call on whether to field a candidate for the election of the Maharashtra Assembly speaker or to chalk out another strategy at an appropriate time, party leader Pravin Darekar said on Sunday.

The post fell vacant after Congress MLA Nana Patole resigned in February this year to take over as the party's Maharashtra unit president. Recently, Maharashtra governor B S Koshyari had written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to take a call on filling the post of the speaker.
