sumitra-mahajan-declined-co

The more than 100 years grand Congress party is beaten to death almost by the Narendra Modi sarkar. The party which was reduced to its lowest ever tally of just 44 MP seats was humiliated further by declining the Leader of Opposition status by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan. She declared that Congress is not eligible for the LOP status given they fall short of the required 55 MP seats mark.

Speaker declared that she followed rules and tradition while coming to reach this decision. Earlier in 1980 and 1984, the then Congress governments got absolute majority and there is no Leader of Opposition then. Congress is planning to take the legal route to challenge the Speaker’s decision but such move will only deteriorate the prestige of the party which is already reeling under the pressure of back to back humiliations.
