D. Speaker
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
When the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and Rajya Sabha (Council of States) need to discuss and vote on a bill together, it's called a joint session.Think of it like this: imagine two classes need to decide on something together.
Someone needs to lead the meeting, right?
That leader in the Indian Parliament's joint session is always the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
Why not the others?
Option A: Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha: The Deputy Chairman normally presides over the Rajya Sabha, not a joint session.
Option B: President and Speaker as the situation may be: The President can summon a joint session, but they don't preside over it.
Option C: Vice-President and Speaker as the situation may be: The Vice-President is the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, and doesn't preside over joint sessions either.
So, the Speaker is the key person in charge during a joint session of the Indian Parliament.
