Government likely to nominate Thambidurai for Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker

  • 5 years ago
The Lok Sabha will elect a Deputy Speaker on Wednesday, if there is more than one candidate for the post. The BJP-led NDA government is expected to field M Thambidurai from J Jayalalithaa's AIADMK, with an eye on the party's support in the other house, the Rajya Sabha.

The process of filing nominations for the post will be held today.

The BJP plans a quid pro quo for the post going to the AIADMK. While the NDA has a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha, it needs all the support it can garner in the Rajya Sabha, where it is in a minority. The AIADMK has 10 members in the Rajya Sabha.
