Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that he would consider the proposal of becoming the Leader of the Opposition Party (LoP) and take a decision soon.

In a meeting held today, the Congress Working Committee unanimously requested Rahul to take up the post of the LoP in the 18th Lok Sabha, party general secretary K C Venugopal said in a press conference.

The CWC adopted a resolution praising the role of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections.

“Shri Rahul Gandhi campaign was single-minded, sharp and pointed and more than any other individual it was he who made the protection of our republic’s Constitution the central issue in the 2024 elections,” the resolution stated.

It cited the Bharat Jodo Yatra and the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra as the reasons for singling out Rahul Gandhi. “Both these Yatras that reflected his own thinking and personality were historic turning points in our nation’s politics and instilled hope and confidence in lakhs of our workers and crores of our voters,” it said.

The resolution also highlighted that the ‘PaanchNyay – Pachees Guarantee‘ programme was also a result of Rahul’s Yatras, during which he listened to the fears, concerns and aspirations of all people, especially the youth, women, farmers, workers, Dalits, Adivasis, OBCs and minorities.

Speaking about the CWC meet, Venugopal said that the atmosphere in the party was completely the opposite of what it had been four months ago. He also said that the revival of the Congress had begun, adding that the party leaders and workers were charged up.
