Senior BJP MP Om Birla is all set to be the NDA nominee for the post of Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha, sources said.
The government has reached out to the opposition for consensus on Mr. Birla’s name. Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and Piyush Goyal had a meeting with Congress leader KC. Venugopal and TR Baalu of the DMK. According to sources, there is no consensus between the government and the opposition as yet, and they too are likely to field their nominee for the Speaker’s post.
