Lok Sabha Speaker Election: TMC ‘will cooperate with us’, says Opposition INDIA Bloc’s nominee K Suresh

Live Mint  

Congress MP K Suresh clarified on Wednesday regarding the Trinamool Congress' “unilateral decision” remark about the INDIA bloc's choice for the Lok Sabha Speaker post, emphasizing that the TMC leaders had agreed to cooperate with the opposition alliance. Suresh – Opposition INDIA Bloc's nominee for the Speaker's post – said that TMC leaders Derek O'Brien and Kalyan Banerjee attended a meeting held by the INDIA bloc at Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's residence on Tuesday evening. TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee told reporters his party was “not consulted” on fielding of Congress' K Suresh as the opposition's nominee and termed it a “unilateral decision”. While the NDA has support of 297 MPs in the Lok Sabha — the majority, INDIA bloc would see its own numbers boosted if TMC vows to back K Suresh.
