Opposition to seek Deputy Speaker's post, bigger role in house panels
Opposition will draw a clear functional line to the government as the condition for the smooth functioning of Parliament in future, including the upcoming budget session. The Opposition leaders said the government this time will have to reinstate the post of the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha and allot it to the main Opposition party of the INDIA bloc. The leaders also said the ruling establishment must also «end riding roughshod» over the Opposition and Parliamentary procedures by rushing through many important Bills without proper discussions and voting, at times even by mass suspension of Opposition MPs.

The Opposition leaders said they would also expect the presiding officers — the new Speaker of the Lok Sabha and also the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha — to imbibe the letter and spirit of the people's mandate in the general election and make their Constitutional offices committed to political neutrality and procedural norms.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet on Saturday to review the poll result and hail the party leaders, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul-Sonia-Priyanka trio for their role in the Congress show.
