With the election of three-time BJP MP Om Birla as the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi passed the first big political test of his third term on Wednesday.

Congress Rahul Gandhi, who was declared the leader of the opposition on Tuesday evening by his party, accompanied PM Modi as they congratulated Birla on his election.

5 - Congratulating Birla, Gandhi said: “I would like to congratulate you for your successful election… I congratulate you on behalf of the entire INDI alliance.”

7 - “The Opposition would like to assist you in your work,” Gandhi said.  

8 - “I am confident you will allow us to speak in the House. I am confident that you will allow us to represent our voice, allow us to speak, to represent the voice of people of India,” Gandhi told Birla during his address in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.  

9 - “The idea that you can run the House efficiently by silencing the voice of the Opposition is a non-democratic idea. This election has shown that the people of India expect the Opposition to defend the Constitution of this country,” Gandhi said.

10 - “We are confident that by allowing the Opposition to speak, you will do your duty of defending the Constitution of India,” the newly-appointed LoP told Speaker Om Birla.
