NEW DELHI, June 26, 2024 (TBINN)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today congratulated Om Birla on his re-election as Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing confidence that he will guide parliamentarians and play a big role in the House fulfilling people’s expectations.
Modi and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju were joined by the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in escorting Om Birla, Bhartiya Janta Party’s M.P. from Kota, to the Speaker’s chair after his election, marking a moment of bipartisan harmony after a day of rancour between the ruling alliance and Opposition parties over the poll.
The House elected Birla with a voice vote after Opposition parties fielded Congress’ member K. Suresh as its choice for the post.
Congratulating him on his fresh term on behalf of the entire House, Prime Minister lauded the third-term M.P. for his conduct as Speaker in the previous Lok Sabha and also as a parliamentarian.
