"Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has been appointed as the LoP in the Lok Sabha," said party General Secretary (Organisation), K.C. Venugopal.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the floor leaders of the INDIA bloc, sources said.

In a post on X, Venugopal said, "CPP Chairperson Sonia Gandhi ji has written to the Pro-Tem Speaker informing him that Rahul Gandhi ji is appointed as the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. We are confident that as LOP, Rahul ji will be a bold voice for the common people of India and ensure that the NDA government is held firmly accountable at all times."
