Guwahati, May 29: Congress Legislature Party Chief Debabrata Saikia has been recognised as the Leader of the Opposition in the Assam Assembly.

"The Honourable Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly has recognised Debabrata Saikia, a member of the Indian National Congress Legislature Party, as the leader of the Opposition in the 15th Assam Legislative Assembly with effect from 24th May, 2021, having fulfilled all the requirements laid down for recognizing as the Leader of the Opposition," an official release said here today.

Saikia, an MLA from Nazira constituency, was the Leader of the Opposition in the last Assembly also. He, however, had to lose the position towards the end of the term as the number of Congress MLAs went below the minimum number required by a party to have its legislature party chief as the Leader of the Opposition.
