Lok Sabha Speaker | Om Birla, D Purandeshwari, Bhatruhari Mahtab Are The Names Doing Rounds | N18V 

Negotiations continue over the post of Lok Sabha Speaker - a prized position which allows the party in the hot-seat to control House protocol and proceedings. When BJP had full majority in 2014 and 2019, it was unchallenged in nominating Sumitra Mahajan and Om Birla to the post then. This time, BJP is the single-largest in Parliament with 240 seats but is 32 short of majority. So it has to rely on Nitish Kumar's JDU and Chandrababu Naidu's TDP to remain in power. A Lok Sabha Speaker is elected by a simple majority of MPs voting. Some of the names doing the rounds are current speaker Om Birla, D Purandeshwari from Andhra Pradesh and Bhatruhari Mahtab from Odisha.
