Guwahati, May 27: The Indian National Congress has appointed Wajed Ali Choudhury as the Leader of the Opposition and Dr Joy Prakash Das as the Deputy Leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in the Assam Legislative Assembly.

The appointments were communicated by AICC general secretary KC Venugopal through a press release issued on May 26.

The announcement comes after a series of internal consultations within the party over the CLP structure in Assam during the ongoing session of the 16th Assam Legislative Assembly.

Earlier, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee president Gaurav Gogoi had said that the decision on the CLP leadership would be finalised by the AICC following consultations with party MLAs and observers from the central leadership.

Congress legislators had also held internal meetings in Guwahati amid growing political interest over the selection of the CLP leadership, which is expected to play a key role in shaping the party’s coordination and strategy inside the Assembly, including its functioning as the principal Opposition party.
