Lok Sabha gears up for first Speaker election fight since 1976: Key points

Failing to reach a consensus over the Speaker candidate for the 18th Lok Sabha, the opposition INDIA bloc has fielded K Suresh against BJP-led NDA's pick, Om Birla. This contest emerges as Birla vies for a second stint in the Speaker's position. Om Birla, the MP from Rajasthan's Kota, was renominated by the NDA for the Speaker post on Tuesday. While the opposition has put all its weight into ensuring the Speaker election is not a cakewalk for the BJP.
