New Delhi: Sonia Gandhi has been unanimously elected as the chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) on Thursday. This development comes after her son and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi declined the offer to lead the party in Parliament.

The CPP meeting was held at the Congress headquarters in Delhi and was attended by all Congress MPs from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. It is expected that Rahul Gandhi will assume the role of Leader of Opposition in Parliament.

Gandhi’s election as CPP chairperson is seen as a move to ensure stability and continuity within the Congress party. She has been a prominent figure in the party for decades and has served as its president for 19 years.

Her appointment comes at a time when the Congress party is facing a number of challenges, including the upcoming assembly elections in five states. The party is also grappling with internal divisions and the rise of regional parties.

Gandhi’s leadership will be crucial in navigating these challenges and ensuring the party’s electoral success in the coming months and years. The Congress party is the main opposition party in India and it will play a key role in holding the government accountable and scrutinizing its policies.

Gandhi’s election as CPP chairperson and Rahul Gandhi’s likely assumption of the role of Leader of Opposition is a significant development for the Congress party and for Indian politics as a whole.
