The Congress, which lost miserably in Gujarat, could lose the leadership of the opposition. If the speaker applies the 10% of seats rule, Congress, which has only 17 seats out of 182, will lose the leadership of the opposition. Had he won one more seat, he could have claimed the title. With the Aam Aadmi party trying to gain a foothold in the state, losing the leadership of the opposition will be exhausting for the Congress. Before the elections, 14 Congress leaders joined the BJP. 11 of them became MLAs.
