Somnath da is first a CPM MP and then Speaker. In normal circumstances, speakers should be above politics, but it should not be forgotton that he is there because has been elected on a party ticker. Can you imagine a speaker withour he being an MP? Somnath Da is a very respected and senior person. I don't think he is sticking to the post for any lust. There must be some intristic reason for the same which one will know only after some time.
