No Opposition Leader in Lok Sabha? Congress Claim being denied?

It seems that the Lok Sabha will have no Opposition Leader this time.For granting the status of Opposition Leader, at least 10% of the total seats in the Parliament are required as per Convention. The Congress, the second biggest party, got only 44 seats, while the requirement is at least 54 seats, 10% of the total 540 seats. The Opposition Leader posts carry many privileges including the rank of a Cabinet Minister, with supportive staff etc.
It is reported that the Speaker Smt. Sumitra Mahajan is expected to take a decision as per convention. There was no Leader of Opposition during the Prime Ministership of Pandit jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi. In the first few Parliaments, though the Communist Party of India was the second party, its leader Com. A.K.Gopalan M.P., was never given the status of the Opposition Leader.
Congress Party is reaping what it has sown.

In addition to the Rs. 50,000, they get a monthly telephone bills of Rs.6,000 and free travel of Rs. 1,25,000. Now they want more.

They compare their situation with foreign countries. ” Our legislators are getting very little salary.

It has always been known that almost all the major corporates have not returned thousands of crores of rupees they have taken as loan from the banks. These are treated as Non-Performing Assets (NPA) and written off later. The hard earned money of the people were being looted by these corporate houses.
Now, senior BJP leader and former Communications Minister Arun Shourie has stated that one Corporate House in India owned Rs. 1,22,000 crore and another Rs. 58,000 crore to the banks, which they have taken as loan! This will be true. In the same way, there will be thousands of corporate houses, which have been cheating the banks.
Why the government and the Bank Managements are sitting as silent spectator? They should act immediately and take necessary strong action to get back the amounts to the Banks, which are mainly the PSUs.
