Lok Sabha LoP | IDNews

Rahul Gandhi will be leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, in a major leg up for the Gandhi scion in his parliamentary responsibilities which is widely viewed as laying the ground for an aggressive and confrontational face-off with a dominant BJP.

The expectation that politics in coming days will be a 'Modi vs Rahul' duel got another fillip by the fact that as LoP - the first constitutional position he will hold - Rahul is likely to be chairman of the all-important Public Accounts Committee that has the primary function of examining CAG reports, and can also seek probes from the govt.

The panel, though with govt majority which decides issues by vote, has proved to be testy for many regimes. Besides, he would also be a member of various collegiums comprising the PM and CJI or govt nominees for selection of chiefs of important investigation and transparency agencies - CBI, Lokpal, CVC, CEC/Election Commissioners and CIC.

In a late evening announcement, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal said Congress parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi has written to pro tem speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab appointing Rahul as LoP. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said Rahul would become the "voice of the last person standing". AICC treasurer Ajay Maken said, "Rahul has always been the most fearless voice among the opposition, and as LoP, his impact will be even more profound".

Honour wishes of CWC on LOP post, Kharge urges RahulThe decision to name Rahul Gandhi as leader of opposition in Lok Sabha lifted the suspense on the issue that has been agitating minds in Congress since results of the 2024 elections were declared, and especially after Congress Working Committee on June 9 passed a resolution urging Rahul to take up the position.

In the meeting, Kharge had personally pushed the issue by telling Rahul that he was anyway playing the key role of mediation and coordination, and had gained the desired experience to take up the formal post.
