Somnath Chatterjee ruffles parliamentary feathers and buys peace…

A recognition that some said came rather late in the day to a man who has been a member of the Lok Sabha for over four decades.


But ever since Chatterjee was elected Speaker of the Lok Sabha in 2004, it has been a tumultuous Lok Sabha he has presided over. There were plenty of issues to raise ruckus over – from the Indo-US nuclear deal to the price rise, the opposition had enough of them to keep the house in disorderly conduct much to the displeasure of Chatterjee, who in 1996 was conferred with the Outstanding Parliamentarian Award, a recognition that some said came rather late in the day to a man who has been a member of the Lok Sabha for over four decades.

Chatterjee has been a Member of Lok Sabha since 1971 and was elected for the first time as an independent candidate supported by the CPI (M). Since then he has been elected nine times. He now represents the Bolpur parliamentary constituency. Only once did he taste defeat, worsted by Mamata Bannerjee in Jadavpur constituency in the 1984 general elections.

Chatterjee comes with a load of experience as a Parliamentarian but his tenure as the Speaker of the Fourteenth Lok Sabha has been marred by the feeling that he was partial to the ruling combine which the leftists were lending outside support.
