LS Speaker post?| IDNews

Amid growing speculation that BJP leadership may prefer his continuation as Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla on Sunday said the would be made by all political parties.

"Changes should keep happening. But I am nobody to comment on this. The Speaker's post will be decided by political parties in the House," he said.Speculation about Birla getting a second term as Speaker has gathered force amid strong indications that the constitutional position will stay with BJP, the single largest party in LoK Sabha by a huge margin and, also, that two of its crucial allies - TDP and JD(U) - are comfortable with the idea.

BJP's preference for continuity in key appointments, especially for the cabinet committee on security ministries of defence, home, finance and external affairs, has also reinforced the estimate in certain quarters about the outgoing Speaker being continued.An agriculturist and grassroots worker, Birla was re-elected from Kota-Bundi LS constituency, becoming the first Speaker in 20 years to win his second straight election. Prior to this, he was a member of the Rajasthan assembly, representing the Kota South constituency from 2003 to 2014.

The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha will be held from June 24 to July 3 and the Speaker's election has been scheduled on June 26 by when the newly-elected members would have been sworn in.On Sunday, Birla justified the move to relocate the statues of freedom fighters and national icons spread across the Parliament premises to a new enclosure, Prerna Sthal. He said the relocation was part of the landscaping and beautification exercise for which all stakeholders were consulted.

"From time to time, I have been discussing these issues with different stakeholders. People were of the view that having these statues at one place will help disseminate information about their lives and achievements in a better way," Birla said.
