Om Birla to be NDA's nominee for Lok Sabha speaker's post: Sources

BJP MP Om Birla is likely to be NDA's nominee for Lok Sabha speaker's post, sources said on Tuesday.

Once nominated, Birla, who won from Kota-Bundi parliamentary seat in Rajasthan, will easily become the speaker as the National Democratic Alliance has a clear majority in the House.

On being asked about the report of him being chosen for speaker post, Birla said, ''I have no information, I had just went to meet the Working President as a 'karyakarta'.''

Birla's wife Amita Birla said, ''It is a very proud and a happy moment for us. We are very thankful to the cabinet for choosing him.''
