New Delhi: Wayanad or Raebareli… the decision on which seat Rahul Gandhi will leave has been taken today but who will be the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha is still a question. Within the Congress, Rahul Gandhi is being asked to take up this post but no decision has been taken on this yet. Sources say that Rahul Gandhi is not ready for this at the moment and after this, discussions have started on some new names. The Lok Sabha session is also about to begin. Meanwhile, let us tell you the names of the opposition leaders in Lok Sabha.Which leaders’ names are being discussed?
According to Congress sources, the names of three senior party leaders are being considered for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker. These three leaders are Kumari Selja, Gaurav Gogoi and Manish Tiwari. After a decade, there will be a leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha. This time the opposition has performed brilliantly in the elections. Congress has won 99 out of 232 seats, and being the largest party among the opposition parties, it is expected that it will decide the name of the leader of the opposition.

The party would have benefited if Rahul Gandhi had become the leader of the opposition
Let us tell you that in the last Lok Sabha elections, Congress had won 52 seats and in the 2014 elections, it had won 44 seats.
