According to official sources, it has been announced that Jagat Prakash Nadda, who is the current BJP president and Union minister, will now take on the role of Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha. This comes as a replacement for Piyush Goyal, who recently won the Lok Sabha election and was sworn in as a member of the Lower House of Parliament just yesterday.
In the Rajya Sabha, the Leader of the Opposition is Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. Along with Nadda, there are 11 other members of the Upper House of Parliament who are also part of the Union Council of Ministers.
Jairam Ramesh, a Congress leader, extended his congratulations to Nadda and also urged him to consider the views of the opposition in the House. He posted on 'X' saying, "I would like to send my warmest greetings to J P Nadda ji on his appointment as Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha. As Venkaiah Naidu garu might have said, if the Leader of the House can make room for the opposition, then we can work together in cooperation."
