The Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), holds the majority in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's parliament.
The opposition parties, including the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), represent a significant minority in the chamber.
The Leader of the Opposition is the parliamentary chairperson of the largest party not in government, a role that has been filled by the opposition in recent years.
The government and opposition have conflicting interests over policy and governance, with the opposition often challenging the government's agenda and seeking to hold it accountable.
In the 2024 general election, the opposition won 232 seats out of 543, doubling its strength from the previous election, which has intensified the political rivalry.
The ruling party holds 53% of representation, while the opposition holds 47%, making the political landscape closely contested.
The stakes are high, as the opposition's role in a parliamentary system is to struggle for power and provide a check on the government.
The recent monsoon session of Parliament was marked by a standoff over student protests, reflecting the broader tensions between the two sides.
The opposition's comeback in the 2024 election has been seen as a significant development, as it was largely written off ahead of the vote.
