The leader of the opposition in the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly is the politician who leads the official opposition in the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly.
Eligibility Official Opposition is a term used in Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly to designate the political party which has secured the second largest number of seats in the assembly. In order to get formal recognition, the party must have at least 10% of total membership of the Legislative Assembly. A single party has to meet the 10% seat criterion, not an alliance. Many of the other Indian state legislatures also follow this 10% rule while the rest of them prefer single largest opposition party according to the rules of their respective houses.
Role The opposition's main role is to question the government of the day and hold them accountable to the public. The opposition is equally responsible in upholding the best interests of the people of the country. They have to ensure that the Government does not take any steps, which might have negative effects on the people of the country.http://www.elections.in/political-corner/role-opposition-party-parliament/ Role of Leader of Opposition in India
