New Delhi: BJP leader Vijendra Gupta was today made Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly despite the BJP having just three seats in the 70-member House which is woefully short of the required numbers to get the key post. Speaker Ram Niwas Goyal recognised Gupta as the Leader of Opposition with immediate effect. "The Honourable Speaker has recognised Shri Vijender Gupta, Member of Legislative Assembly, who is leader of the House of the party in Opposition to the government having greatest numerical strength, as Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi with immediate effect," a notification issued by the Delhi Legislative Assembly Secretariat said today. He said the rules in Delhi Assembly were clear under which the largest opposition party needed to be given the post and the Kejriwal government had come under attack for not doing so in the last two months.
