Nda Vs India In Lok Sabha Speaker Election

The stage is set for the election of a Lok Sabha Speaker after three decades. On one side is BJP's Om Birla, a three-time MP and the Speaker in the last Lok Sabha. His challenger is the Congress's eight-term MP K Suresh.

The election for the post of Speaker - a rare event in the history of the Lok Sabha - will take place today, with a recharged Opposition challenging the NDA nominee. The government, which has an edge, is trying to shore up its numbers for a sure win.

The BJP's NDA and the Congress' INDIA bloc will go head-to-head in a battle for the Speaker's post - arguably one of the most important in a parliamentary democracy and to be held for the first time since 1952 - after the two failed agree a deal.
