Rahul Gandhi can lead the opposition in Parliament
Narendra Modi will take the oath as Prime Minister on Sunday, forming the government for the third time at the center. Meanwhile, there is a stir in the Congress camp. This time, the Congress Party will serve as a formidable opposition. On Saturday evening, party MPs from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will gather. Sonia Gandhi, President of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP), may be re-elected during this conference. In addition, during this meeting, a demand may be made to give party leader Rahul Gandhi a prominent position. Rahul Gandhi might become the opposition leader. Rahul Gandhi won the Lok Sabha elections from the Wayanad and Rae Bareli seats in Kerala this time.
Rahul Gandhi should lead the opposition in the Lok Sabha. Party MPs like KC Venugopal, Manikam Tagore, and Gaurav Gogoi are set to raise this demand by raising their hands during the Congress meeting this evening. Because the Congress party gained the most seats among the opposition parties in the Lok Sabha elections, the party’s leader in the Lok Sabha will also be the opposition leader.
According to party sources, Sonia Gandhi will decide whether to nominate Rahul Gandhi as the party’s Lok Sabha leader or to choose another leader. There is little hope of reaching a decision on this problem right now. Sonia Gandhi, senior Congress politician, and Mallikarjun Kharge, party president, will respond later in a press release. Sonia Gandhi is now a member of the Rajya Sabha. Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress chief, is the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha.
The Congress Working Committee will meet this morning to praise the party’s performance in the Lok Sabha elections. Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge deserve credit for the party’s successful performance. The party won 99 Lok Sabha seats this time, compared to 44 and 52 seats in the previous two Lok Sabha elections in 2014 and 2019.
