BJP Is Trying To Convince OM Birla To Press For Speaker Position?

Senior leader and Lok Sabha speaker of the last parliament Om Birla wants to be given a chance for the Speaker position if the party is to have its leader as Speaker source says. He added further to the senior leaders visiting his house to convince him not to claim that if the Speaker is going to TDP, he will not claim source says. The visiting party said that his name has been forwarded to Nagpur for the party president position and if approved, he will have a larger role to play source says. BJP leadership feels that in Rajasthan, the party lost 10 seats, and the feedback is that it is due to infighting in the party source. Om Birla is a senior leader and he can keep the entire Rajasthan unit united to avoid the situation source says.
