In a significant political development, Congress general secretary Sachin Pilot asserted that Rahul Gandhi's ascension to the role of leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha marks a rejuvenation for both the Congress party and the INDIA bloc.

Recognised officially by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Gandhi's new position is seen as a catalyst for change, energizing the opposition and bolstering democratic voices within Parliament. Pilot emphasized that Gandhi's ongoing challenge to systemic issues positions him uniquely as a representative of the people's aspirations inside and outside the legislative body.

He's expected to lead the fight for truth, invigorating peace and brotherhood across the country, while also questioning the current government's stance on various critical issues, including the tradition of the deputy speaker's appointment and alleged irregularities in the NEET exam. The government's inability to act unilaterally, as noted by Pilot, underscores the strengthened opposition's role in maintaining democratic checks and balances.
