It has been reported that the BJP is planning to re-elect Om Birla as the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
The 18th parliamentary election has ended and Prime Minister Modi has come to power for the 3rd time. But unlike last time, he is in power with the support of coalition parties. Similarly, India Alliance is the strongest opposition party by winning 234 seats. The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha started yesterday (June 24). Yesterday, on the first day of this series of meetings which will be held till July 3, Bardruhari Mahatab of BJP was chosen as the interim speaker and he administered the oath to Prime Minister Modi and the ministers.
The Congress Party has sought the post of Deputy Speaker, but it has been rejected. The India Alliance has announced that if they are not given the post of Deputy Speaker, they will contest the Speaker election and field a candidate.
In this situation, it has been reported that the BJP has decided to re-elect former Speaker Om Birla, and it is also reported that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh will hold talks with the opposition parties.
Meanwhile, President Draupadi Murmu appointed a five-member committee to assist the interim Speaker. Members of the opposition party are protesting against giving the post of Interim Speaker to Partruhari instead of Suresh, who has served as an MP for 8 times, and refusing to give the post of Deputy Speaker to the India Alliance.
Therefore, there is a possibility of giving the post of Deputy Speaker to the opposition party, DMK MP, DR. It is also said that Union Minister Rajnath Singh, who is negotiating with Balu, will announce his decision. Today, former Speaker Om Birla is filing his nomination for the post of Speaker.
