While initial reports spoke of the possibility of senior Congress member V Kishore Chandra Deo as the most likely choice for the Speaker's post, Union Minister and Congress Dalit face has emerged the dark horse for the post.
President Pratibha Patil would address the joint sitting of both Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on 4 June which would chart out the road map of the second term of the Manmohan Singh government which came to power with renewed mandate as Congress alone secured 206 seats. The party had 145 seats in the previous House.
With pre-poll allies, the UPA was almost near the majority mark of 272 and back by post-poll partners, the coalition strength has gone up to 322. |
