Q.

The Speaker of the lok Sabha enjoys –

A. no right to vote in general circumstances
B. the right to vote only in case of a tie
C. the right to vote like other members of the House
D. the right to vote only once during the term of the House
Answer» B. the right to vote only in case of a tie
Explanation: Normally, the Speaker does not take part in voting in the House. But in case of a tie, he exercises his right of casting vote. His casting vote would decide the issue. In such a case his vote would normally go in favour of the party to which he belongs. Further, when a resolution for the removal of the Speaker is put to vote in the House, he has the right to cast his vote.
