New Delhi [India], Actor-turned-politician Hema Malini took oath as Member of Parliament from Mathura for the third consecutive time on Tuesday.
Talking about the problems faced by the people of her constituency, Hema Malini said, "Mathura is a center of religious tourism and people come from all over the country. Thousands of people come here every day. It is becoming difficult to manage them."
"We have developed the city so well that people are getting all kinds of benefits and that's why more people are coming. So there is more pressure on us to do even better," he added.
On other problems faced by the tourism hub, the BJP leader said, "There are problems like dealing with monkeys, Yamuna and managing the crowd coming in."
He said that he supports NDA candidate Om Birla for the post of president, whose election is scheduled for Wednesday.
"I want Om Birla to be elected because he was excellent and managed very well in the last five years," he said.
Hema Malini won the Mathura constituency in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections by defeating Congress' Mukesh Dhangar by a huge margin of 2,93,407 votes. Malini (75) got 5,10,064 votes. Congress candidate Dhangar and BSP candidate Suresh Singh received 2,16,657 and 1,88,417 votes respectively. Hema Malini also won the seat in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Efforts by top BJP leaders to reach a consensus on the speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha failed when the INDIA block decided to nominate eight-time MP K Suresh for the post.
His nomination came after BJP's Kota MP Om Birla filed nomination for the same post. Birla previously served as speaker of the 17th Lok Sabha.
This will be the first time that elections will be held for the speaker of the lower house, as traditionally the speaker and deputy speaker of the Lok Sabha have been elected by consensus between the ruling party and the opposition.
Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said Rajnath Singh had been informed that the opposition is willing to support the NDA presidential candidate, on the condition that the post of vice president be given to the opposition.
