Addressing the Parliament minutes after NDA's Om Birla was elected as Speaker of Lok Sabha by voice vote, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Kota MP Om Birla for his exemplary performance during his first term ( 2019-2024)
"It is the good fortune of the House that you are occupying this Chair for the second time. I congratulate you and the entire House," added PM Modi. Om Birla's work as parliamentarian should be inspiration for new Lok Sabha members, observed the Prime Minister.
"I want to congratulate you on behalf of the House. It is a huge responsibility for you to sit on this post for the second time during the Amrit Kaal. With your experience, we hope that you will guide us for the next 5 years. 'Aapke chehre par yeh meethi meethi muskaan poore Sadan ko prasann rakhti hai'. Becoming the Speaker for the second time is a record in itself. Balram Jakhar got the opportunity to serve as the Speaker for the second term after competing 5 years and today you are doing the same..."
"The works that didn't happen during 70 years of independence, were made possible by this House under your chairmanship. Several milestones come in the long journey of democracy. A few occasions are such when we receive the opportunity to establish milestones. I am very confident that the country will be proud of the achievements of the 17th Lok Sabha..." reiterated PM Modi.
