M. Thambidurai of AIADMK is
set to be elected unopposed as Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha after all major
parties, including Congress, extended support to his candidature. Mr.
Thambidurai filed his nomination for the post.
Later, Congress also lent its
support and its leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge proposed a set of
nomination papers in his support and Jyotiraditya Scindia supported it.
Official sources said at
least eight more set of nominations papers are being filed in his support by
NDA allies like TDP, Shiv Sena, LJP as well as non-NDA parties like BJD, TRS,
YSR Congress, TMC and SP.
Earlier, AIADMK MPs,
including Mr. Thambidurai, met Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu in
the latter’s chamber and he emerged as the ruling party’s choice for the post.
