Congress denied LOp

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan rejected the Congress' demand for the post of leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha. “I have gone by rules and tradition,“ Mahajan told reporters. Congress president Sonia Gandhi had sought LoP status for Mallikarjun Kharge. The Congress is the second largest LS group with 44 MPs after the BJP's 282, but doesn't have a 10th of the total strength.
