Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
A recognized position in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha if the opposition party secures at least 10% of total seats. The LoP leads critiques of government policies, demands accountability, and can serve on selection panels (e.g., for CBI Director, Lokpal appointments). The LoP is vital for healthy democracy, ensuring checks and offering alternative viewpoints. Absent the seat threshold, no official LoP is recognized, weakening oversight. The concept underscores the parliamentary principle of government by discussion and debate, demanding that the executive remain responsive to a credible, structured opposition. Its efficacy depends on the party’s internal discipline and the presiding officers’ impartiality.
