In a recent statement, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed his party's willingness to support the government's choice for the Lok Sabha Speaker, under one condition. He stated that the opposition bloc would only extend their support if they were given the deputy speaker's position.
Gandhi also noted that the Defence Minister and senior BJP leader, Rajnath Singh, had yet to respond to their demand for the deputy speaker's post. This further fueled the speculations surrounding the potential choice for the position of deputy speaker.
In a separate development, Kota MP Om Birla had a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, giving rise to speculations that he may be considered for the role of Lok Sabha speaker. Birla had previously served as the speaker in the previous House.
These developments come amidst the ongoing discussions and negotiations between the ruling party and the opposition regarding the crucial positions in the Lok Sabha. It remains to be seen how these discussions will unfold and who will ultimately be chosen for the important roles.
