Rahul Gandhi- Priyanka Gandhi News: Congress party is celebrating Rahul Gandhi’s completion of one year as Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha. This opportunity came on July 2 and the party posted Rahul’s speeches, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his constant conversation with the press on social media during this period. The monsoon session of Parliament is going to start from July 21 and the Congress is bringing Rahul’s achievements to the media in view of this. But in the meantime, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s calm but influential presence in Parliament has caught more attention. Priyanka caught everyone’s attention with her work and symbolic gestures, due to which Rahul’s presence has faded a bit.

Last year, Rahul was a big moment for the Congress to become the leader of the opposition. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress won 99 seats, after which for the first time in ten years, the party had the required number to get the post of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. With the appointment of Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi also made her debut as an MP from Wayanad. In this way, Gandhi brothers and sisters once again came to the Center in Parliament. This was a new beginning for the Congress, as the party was in such a situation after a long time. Surprisingly, in the last one year, Priyanka left more impact in Parliament. His intervention, informal conversation and symbolic gestures became the subject of discussion. Especially his handbag made a lot of headlines in political circles.

Inner sources of the Congress say that Rahul accepted this post so that the condition of the Congress in the Lok Sabha elections and Momentum can be maintained and it can be converted into victory in the states. His camp presented it as a direct competition by Modi vs Rahul. But this strategy was not completely successful. The Congress suffered defeat in major states like Maharashtra and Haryana. From Rahul’s leadership, the election bust was not found, which the party expected. The biggest challenge has been to unite the India alliance. Instead of strengthening the alliance led by Rahul, he faced opposition from the Trinamool Congress. TMC questioned the suitability of his national leadership and advocated the leadership of the opposition to Mamata Banerjee.

This was a major setback for Rahul, because the solidarity of the India alliance was the biggest test to lead him. BJP also criticized Rahul a lot. He accused Rahul of lightening the post of Leader of Opposition. The BJP described his statements as irresponsible during serious discussions like trivial and Waqf Bill, as his behavior as irresponsible. The BJP called him a non-serious leader and said that his attitude reduces the dignity of this post. This attack by BJP was an attempt to harm Rahul’s image. There are still four years left in the current term of the Lok Sabha. The Congress hopes that Rahul will show more effective leadership in this post.

Some people of the party believe that now they have to go beyond symbolism and take concrete steps. They have to unite the India alliance and the BJP will have to give a tough challenge. If Rahul is not successful in doing this, then the future path of the party can be difficult.
