Keeping the Congress on tenterhooks, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan will take a decision on the issue of giving the post of Leader of Opposition to the party after studying rules, regulations and precedents.
Elected to the post unanimously a week ago, she says she would consult constitutional authorities, legal experts and "experienced persons" before deciding the issue ahead of the Budget session, expected to start on July 7.
"Definitely we will have to think over it. There are rules and regulations. One says 10%, another says single largest group. And there are past precedents which I will have to study. Only after that I will be able to take a decision"
