Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Elected from among the members, typically from the opposition or another party to foster neutrality. The Deputy Speaker performs the Speaker’s duties when the latter is absent. They preside over debates, ensure discipline, and handle procedural rulings, sustaining the House’s continuity. Though overshadowed by the Speaker’s prominence, the Deputy Speaker’s role is crucial in busy legislative calendars. They may also head committees. Removal procedures parallel the Speaker’s, requiring a resolution passed by a majority. This office exemplifies inclusive parliamentary leadership, balancing power distribution within the majority-minority context.
