PM Modi to move motion in Lok Sabha today to choose Om Birla as Speaker of the house
"Government compelled us to contest election," says K Suresh, I.N.D.I.A. speaker candidate
"The government compelled the I.N.D.I.A. to contest the election. We don't want to contest the election against the Speaker, but when the government approached I.N.D.I.A., especially the Congress party leadership, we asked about the Deputy Speaker post. At that time, we were not given any assurance. Yesterday, too, they didn't give any assurance by 11.30 am. They said, First, you support the Speaker election, and after that, we can discuss the Deputy Speaker. So, that reply was not satisfactory. So, our leaders decided to contest the Speaker election," Suresh said, according to ANI.
