Digvijaya bats for Rahul’s larger role in the Parliament

Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh has said that Rahul Gandhi should be given the role of leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha.

“If Rahul wants to lead the Congress, he must lead,” Singh told a daily adding, “I strongly feel he is the leader and has to lead from the front. He should be the leader of opposition.”

Digvijaya Singh’s remarks come at a time when Congress is struggling to name the leader of the opposition. Although Rahul should have been party’s natural choice, but his leadership has been under huge criticism since Congress’s pathetic poll defeat in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls. A section in Congress wants Sonia Gandhi to lead the parliamentary team in the Lok Sabha, while some senior leaders feel party should give responsibility to experienced MP like Kamal Nath.

However defending Rahul, Singh said, “It is ultimately the leader who has to lead.”
