The stage is set in the Lok Sabha for a historic election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, marking the first contest in decades. Traditionally elected by consensus, this year's election pits NDA's Om Birla against the INDIA bloc's K Suresh. The election, set for 11 AM, follows a lack of agreement over the positions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh will move motions for Om Birla, while Congress MP K. Suresh's candidacy is supported by Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant, Anand Bhadauria, and Supriya Sule.
A meeting at Mallikarjun Kharge's residence highlighted the INDIA bloc's strategy, opting for a voice vote over separate vote counting. Om Birla, a three-time MP from Kota, Rajasthan, seeks to continue his role as Speaker, while Kodikunnil Suresh, an eight-term MP from Kerala's Mavelikara constituency, stands as a seasoned contender.
Rahul Gandhi criticized the Prime Minister for his lack of practical consensus in Parliament, despite Union Minister Rajnath Singh's outreach to opposition leaders.
