Congress, which lost miserably in Gujarat, may lose the leadership of the opposition. If the speaker implements the rule of 10% seats, the 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 election, 14 Congress leaders joined the BJP. 11 of them became MLAs.
