Rahul Gandhi’s name has been sealed for the post of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha. Congress leader K.C. Venugopal has given the information in this regard while talking to the media. Venugopal said that Congress Parliamentary Party President Sonia Gandhi has written to Pro-tem Speaker Bhartrihari Mahtab informing that Rahul Gandhi will be the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Importantly, Rahul Gandhi is the third member of the Gandhi family to be elected as the Leader of the Opposition. Earlier Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi have held this post. Meanwhile, in the Congress Working Committee meeting held on June 9, a resolution was passed to elect Rahul Gandhi as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. However, give me time to think about this, Rahul Gandhi had said.
Meanwhile, compared to 2014 and 2019, Congress has achieved good success this year. Congress has won a total of 99 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In 2014 and 2019, Congress won 44 and 52 seats respectively. Congress was the second largest party after BJP in these elections. However, due to insufficient numbers, Congress could not claim the position of leader of the opposition.
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had taken oath as an MP today. At this time, he was holding a copy of the constitution in his hand. After taking the oath, he also announced ‘Jai Hind Jai Constitution’.
