Congress had objected Congress has strongly objected to making Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi sit in the fifth row. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said that Narendra Modi has shown his frustration by making the Leader of Opposition sit in the fifth row in the Independence Day celebrations, but this does not affect the leader of the people. Anyway, it is meaningless to expect big things from people with small minds.

Supriya said that you and your government have no respect for democracy and democratic process. The rank of the leader of the opposition is equal to that of a cabinet minister. All the ministers were seated in the first row. Not only Rahul, but Mallikarjun Kharge was also seated in the fifth row.
