In a recent press conference, members of the Congress Working Committee expressed their unanimous support for Rahul Gandhi to take on the role of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. This decision came after acknowledging the success of Gandhi's two Bharat Jodo Yatras in the recent general elections.
KC Venugopal, party general secretary, stated that during an extended meeting of the Congress Working Committee, all members urged Gandhi to take on the important role of Leader of Opposition. When asked about his decision, Gandhi responded that he would make a decision on the matter very soon.
If Gandhi were to take on this role, it would mark the first time since 2014 that the Congress party would hold the position of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. In the past, the party had been unable to secure the position due to its lower number of seats in the House. However, with their improved performance in the recent elections, the CWC believes that the Congress' revival has begun.
During the meeting, the CWC adopted two resolutions. One resolution praised the efforts of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for the party's strong showing in the Lok Sabha polls. The other resolution credited the success of Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatras for their improved performance.
The CWC also took the opportunity to highlight the significance of the recent election results. They stated that it was not just a political defeat for the ruling party, but also a personal and moral defeat for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had campaigned on his own name.
As the second-largest party in the Lok Sabha, with 99 seats compared to their previous 52, the Congress party is feeling energized and optimistic about their future. The CWC believes that with Gandhi at the helm as Leader of Opposition, they will continue to make progress and work towards their goals for the country. This sentiment reflects the overall sentiment of the party and their commitment to bringing about positive change.
