Members of the 17th Lok Sabha have taken oath .
The House will now elect its Speaker on 19th June.

The NDA has named twotime BJP MP Om Birla as its nominee for the post.

Birla, who won from KotaBundi parliamentary seat in Rajasthan, will easily become the speaker as the National Democratic Alliance has a clear majority in the lower house.

Today in IN DEPTH we talk about the election process, role and responsibilities of the Speaker. We'll also look at the powers vested in the Lok Sabha speaker, who is the highest authority in the House and also the custodian of the Parliament building.
