As the latest session of the Lok Sabha commenced, the political stage saw a significant development: Rahul Gandhi, a prominent Congress leader, was appointed as the Leader of Opposition (LoP).  This marks a noteworthy milestone in Gandhi's political career spanning over two and a half decades, as he assumes a constitutional post for the first time. This development also signals a rejuvenated opposition, poised to challenge the government more effectively after a decade of relative inactivity.
