Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha: Power and Responsibilities

-

 


Rejecting the opposition's demand for the deputy speaker's post in exchange for its support for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) chairman candidate, ruling NDA candidate Om Birla won the speaker's post.

"We have told Rajnath Singh that we will support their chairman (candidate), but it is customary that the deputy speaker's post is given to the opposition...," Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on June 25.

Now, attention is on the deputy speaker's post, which the opposition has been fighting for since the beginning. The post of deputy speaker in Sabah has been lying vacant since 2019.


Why does the opposition want the deputy speaker's post?

Most opposition leaders have invoked "parliamentary tradition" to argue for the post of deputy speaker. "It is traditional that if the speaker is appointed from the ruling party, the deputy speaker is appointed from the opposition...," Congress leader Sachin Pilot was quoted as saying by PTI. Congress leader KL Sharma said giving the post of deputy speaker to the opposition is a healthy democratic tradition.


Congress leader Pramod Tiwari supported the argument, saying, "...when parliamentary traditions were ignored as far as elections are concerned, we voiced our protest in a democratic manner." What about the post of deputy speaker?

Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Prahlad Joshi said the NDA is ready to discuss the post of deputy speaker when the time comes for selection of the deputy speaker, but it is not right to impose preconditions.
