Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
Sonia Gandhi became the Leader of Opposition in the 18 th Lok Sabha.
Narendra Modi took oath as the Prime Minister of India in June 2024.
Om Birla is elected as the Speaker of the 18 th Lok Sabha.
Amit Shah assumed charge as Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation in June 2024.
Sonia Gandhi became the Leader of Opposition in the 18 th Lok Sabha.
Rahul Gandhi was appointed as the Leader of Opposition in the 18th Lok Sabha, making Option A the incorrect statement.
Following the 2024 General Elections, the Indian National Congress (INC) secured enough seats to claim the position of the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, a post that had remained vacant since 2014. Rahul Gandhi was officially appointed to this constitutional role in June 2024. The Leader of Opposition plays a critical role in parliamentary democracy by leading the opposition's response to government policies and chairing key selection committees, such as those for the CVC, CIC, and CBI Director. The statement naming Sonia Gandhi as the LoP is factually incorrect as she is not currently the LoP in the 18th Lok Sabha.
The position of the Leader of Opposition is recognized under the Salary and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act, 1977. While the Constitution does not define the LoP, the office is vital for the statutory selection process of heads of various investigative and oversight bodies in India.
Rahul Gandhi appointed LoP: June 2024
Om Birla elected Speaker (18th Lok Sabha): June 2024
Narendra Modi sworn in as PM: June 9, 2024
Amit Shah assumed charge as Home Minister: June 2024
A is correct тАФ Sonia Gandhi is not the Leader of Opposition; Rahul Gandhi holds this position in the 18th Lok Sabha.
Remember that the Leader of Opposition is not just a title but a statutory position required for high-level appointments; associating it with the 'Leader of Opposition Act, 1977' helps distinguish it from party-level roles.
