Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nominee Om Birla was once again elected as the Lok Sabha speaker on Wednesday after a motion moved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was adopted through voice votes.
“It is your chair, please occupy.””It is a matter of honour that you have been elected to this chair for second time,” PM Modi said.
“Your sweet smile keeps the entire House happy,” he added.
Birla, born in 1962, was a two-term MP when he was made the Lok Sabha Speaker in 2019, a position usually reserved for senior leaders.
