Om Birla, the BJP MP from Kota, poised to make history as the first Speaker in over two decades to secure a second term. Elevating from a lesser-known political figure to a significant contributor to parliamentary proceedings, his tenure saw noteworthy decisions and landmark legislations.

Om Birla stands on the brink of history, set to become the first Speaker in over two decades to secure a second term in the Lok Sabha if elected.

BJP's third-term MP from Kota, Rajasthan, Birla's initial rise surprised many when his name was announced by the NDA in 2019. Having been an MLA and a key figure in the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, Birla's political journey dates back to the 1990s, eventually landing crucial roles in the Lok Sabha.

In his tenure, Birla became known for significant contributions including the construction of a new Parliament building and historic legislations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended Birla for his impartiality and grace in running the House despite opposition criticism.
