The Speaker of Lok Sabha is usually elected in the first meeting of the new MPs. Till a new Speaker is elected, an MP, most likely with the highest experience, is picked to be the pro-tem Speaker of the House. The pro-tem Speaker presides over the first few sessions of the Lok Sabha, and conducts the vote for the new Speaker and deputy Speaker.
Till now, the government has not yet announced any candidate for the post of Lok Sabha speaker. However, opposition parties are pushing NDA allies JD(U) and TDP to put their candidates up for the post.
AAP asked the ruling NDA constituents TDP and JD(U) on Monday to ensure the Lok Sabha Speaker is from one of the two parties, and said this would be in their interests as well as that of the Constitution and democracy. A similar suggestion was made by Congress and Shiv Sena (UBP), all part of the INDIA bloc.
Former Rajasthan chief minister and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot also said that if the Lok Sabha Speaker post is retained by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), then NDA partners TDP and JD(U) should be prepared to witness horse-trading of their MPs.
