Due to which the Gujarat Assembly Secretary has written a letter to Gujarat Congress President Jagdish Thakor asking him to appoint the leader of the Legislature Party. The letter secretariat has asked the Congress to elect the leader of the legislature party before January 19.
Explain that according to the rules, within 30 days of the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected legislators, the opposition party has to elect the leader of its legislature party.
