Kharge, Scindia meet Speaker
July 03, 2014
Kharge and Scindia met Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today. It may be difficult for the Congress to get the post of Leader of Opposition.
According to the rules of the House, a party needs 10 per cent of the
seats in the Lok Sabha to become Leader of Opposition, which amounts to
55.
The Congress is the second largest party, but it managed only 44
seats in the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP had earlier said that with
just 44 seats, the Congress cannot get the Leader of the Opposition
post.
