With Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi reluctant to take on the responsibility of leading his party in the Lok Sabha, party chief Sonia Gandhi on Monday nominated Mallikarjun Kharge as the leader of the party in the lower house. However, it is still unclear whether the Congress, with its all-time low tally of 44, will get the Leader of the Opposition status.

While Sonia was reportedly not keen to take up the post, apparently because of health reasons, several Congress leaders, including Digvijaya Singh and Shashi Tharoor, had said that Rahul should lead the party in the Lok Sabha. Although party leaders welcomed Sonia's decision on Monday, they privately said it was time for Rahul to shed his reluctance.
