How is Lok Sabha Speaker elected? Know its roles and responsibilities

With the ministerial portfolios now assigned in the Modi 3.0 government, the focus has now shifted to the crucial task of election the Lok Sabha Speaker. Although the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fell short of securing the 272-seat majority required in the Lok Sabha, it successfully formed the government by leveraging support from its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partners. Now, the BJP needs to collaborate closely with its allies to decide on the Speaker’s post. This is particularly essential with key partners like Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) (JD-U). Ensuring the support of these allies will be critical for the BJP as it navigates this significant parliamentary decision.
