Rahul Gandhi extended conditional support to the NDA government's candidate for Lok Sabha Speaker on Tuesday. He stated that Congress would back the NDA's choice if the Deputy Speaker post is allocated to the opposition alliance INDIA bloc. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also echoed this demand. The Congress leader’s offer followed discussions with Rajnath Singh. Meanwhile, incumbent Speaker Om Birla, who met PM Modi, is likely to be re-nominated by the NDA. This move could see Birla re-elected unopposed, with the opposition possibly securing the Deputy Speaker role.
