NEW DELHI, June 25, 2024 (TBINN)

Congress’ leader Rahul Gandhi will occupy the post of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and a letter about the decision has been sent to Pro-tem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab.

The decision on Rahul Gandhi’s appointment as Leader of Opposition was made after a meeting of the floor leaders of I N.D.I A. Bloc at Congress’ chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence.

“Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson (Sonia Gandhi) wrote to Pro-tem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab, informing him of the decision to appoint Rahul Gandhi as Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha,” senior party leader K.C. Venugopal told reporters after the meeting. K.C. Venugopal said the decision on other appointments will be decided later.

Rahul Gandhi has been M.P. for five terms and currently represents Rae Bareli Constituency in the Lok Sabha. He took oath as M.P. today while holding a copy of Constitution.

Congress, being single largest Opposition party, gets the post of Opposition Leader after a gap of 10 years.

It had failed to get 10 per cent members required in the Lok Sabha to secure post during the last two elections.
