BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya said that the post of Leader of the Opposition (LOP) is not a constitutional post. "It is a statutory term defined by a law passed by a non-Congress government in 1977 after the Emergency," he said.
He said that Rahul Gandhi, who has failed thrice in the Lok Sabha elections, has been deceived by saying that this post is constitutional.
However, as per rules, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has accepted Rahul Gandhi as the Leader of Opposition.
Gandhi was not allowed to speak on the NEET issue during the discussion on the motion of thanks after the President's address on Friday. Congress has made it a big issue, in response to which Malviya has made this comment.
