They deliberated on strategies to be adopted during the session, coming to a consensus about exposing Opposition on the floors of both the Houses, BJP sources said. "At the NDA leaders' coordination meeting, discussions on the election for the post of LS Speaker and Deputy Speaker were also held," said a senior BJP leader.

NDA leaders also chalked out the floor strategy for the Parliament session during which President Droupadi Murmu will spell out the government's vision for the next five years.

At the meeting, leaders' suggestions for the Speaker's post were discussed. It was also decided that senior Congress leader K Suresh, an eight-term LS member, may be projected as pro-tem speaker.
