It was supported by many including Rajnath Singh. This is the first time since 1976 that the Lok Sabha has been elected to the post of Speaker.

I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the entire Opposition and the INDI Alliance. This House represents the voice of India’s people and you are the final arbiter of that voice. The government has political power but the opposition also represents the voice of India’s people and this time, the opposition represents significantly more voice of the Indian people than it did last time. The opposition would like to assist you in doing your work. We would like the House to function often and well. Cooperation must happen based on trust, the voice of the Opposition must be allowed to be represented in this House. (Maxim News)
