The Congress party has made an important decision regarding the post of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. After a meeting of the party's floor leaders at Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's residence, it was decided that Rahul Gandhi, a prominent leader of the party, will take on this role. This decision was conveyed to Pro-tem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab through a letter sent by the Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson.
Addressing the media after the meeting, senior party leader KC Venugopal shared this news and also mentioned that other appointments will be decided at a later time. This move comes as no surprise as Rahul Gandhi has been an MP for five terms and is currently representing the Rae Bareli constituency in the Lok Sabha. In fact, he recently took oath as an MP while holding a copy of the Constitution, a symbolic gesture that highlights his commitment to his duties as a member of parliament.
It is worth noting that the Congress party, being the single largest opposition party, has been granted the post of Leader of Opposition after a gap of 10 years. In the previous two elections, the party failed to secure this post due to not having the required 10% members in the Lok Sabha. However, with the recent appointment of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party is now ready to fulfill this important role and effectively represent the opposition in the Lok Sabha.
This decision is seen as a positive step towards strengthening the opposition in the Lok Sabha and ensuring that all voices are heard in the parliamentary proceedings. With Rahul Gandhi's experience as an MP and his dedication to the welfare of the people, he is expected to bring valuable insights and contribute to the functioning of the Lok Sabha. This appointment marks a new chapter for the Congress party and its leadership, and we can only hope for the best as they take on this important responsibility.
