Historic Lok Sabha Speaker Election: BJP's Om Birla vs Opposition's Kodikunnil Suresh

In an unprecedented political showdown, the Lok Sabha is set to conduct a historic election for the Speaker's post, marking a significant moment in India's parliamentary democracy. The ruling BJP-led NDA has nominated Om Birla, a three-time MP from Kota, Rajasthan, while the opposition, under the newly formed INDIA alliance, has put forward Kodikunnil Suresh, a seasoned Congress politician. This election, scheduled for June 26, highlights the deepening political divide between the ruling coalition and the opposition, which has also demanded the Deputy Speaker position, a request that has been rejected. The outcome of this election is eagerly awaited as it will set the tone for the functioning of the Lok Sabha and the broader political dynamics in the country.
