Speaker of lok sabha 2022

On Tuesday, Lok Sabha completed 1,151 days without a Deputy Speaker as the Narendra Modi government has not moved ahead choosing one though the Constitution provides for such a post. This prompted RSP MP N K Premachandran to introduce a private member Bill in Lok Sabha last week to amend Article 93 of the Constitution to insert a specific time limit of one month to choose a Deputy Speaker within a month from the date of election of Speaker. At present, Article 93 says that the Lok Sabha should choose two members of the House as Speaker and Deputy Speaker “as soon as may be”. The legislative intent in Article 93 is not complied with due to the “lack of time stipulation”, Premachandran’s Bill says. The importance of the post could be gauged from the fact that the Constitution stipulates that it is the Deputy Speaker to whom the Speaker has to submit his resignation if he chooses to do so. The Constituent Assembly debates also show the importance given to Deputy Speaker, as member MV Kamath chose to withdraw his amendment to make the Speaker submit his resignation to the President after B R Ambedkar and others argued against it. Ambedkar said it cannot be accepted as the House should remain independent of the Executive. An analysis of the choosing of Deputy Speaker showed that the present Lok Sabha has the longest period of pendency to choose an MP for the post. In the 11th Lok Sabha, Suraj Bhan was elected as Deputy Speaker within 52 days while the next Lok Sabha saw PM Saye...
