🔆 The Importance of the Deputy Speaker: Constitutional and Political Gaps ✅ The Deputy Speaker’s post in the Lok Sabha has remained vacant for over 6 years, violating Articles 93, 94, and 180 of the Constitution and Rules of Procedure. ✅ The Deputy Speaker plays a crucial role in legislative continuity, accountability, and ensuring balance between the ruling party and Opposition. ✅ Though Article 93 mandates early election, it lacks a specific timeline, enabling prolonged delay. ✅ Conventionally, the post is offered to the Opposition to uphold parliamentary democracy. ✅ This ongoing vacancy reflects executive dominance, weakening institutional checks and democratic resilience. #parliament #deputyspeaker #constitution #democracy
