New Delhi, June 1 (TIWN): Hours after Sonia Gandhi was re-elected leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP), Congress president Rahul Gandhi Saturday said the party will work like a "pride of brave-hearted lions" despite only having 52 members in Lok Sabha. He added that the Congress will "fearlessly" do its duty as leading Opposition party to ensure the BJP has no walkover in Parliament.
The Congress is three MPs short of staking claim to the post of Leader of Opposition, which requires a party to have 55 MPs or ten per cent of the total strength.
"The Congress Party may have just 52 Lok Sabha members, but we will work together like a pride of brave hearted lions to protect our Constitution and Institutions and to fearlessly do our duty as the leading Opposition party. The BJP will have no walkover in Parliament," the Congress president tweeted.
