Explanation:

G V Mavalankar, the first Lok Sabha Speaker, had said the main opposition party’s strength must equal the quorum — which is 10 per cent of the total strength — required for functioning of the House. As per the Mavalankar rule, any party needs to have at least 10% of the total seats for its leader to claim the status of the leader of the opposition. There was a controversy related to this rule in the 16th Lok Sabha as the Main opposition Congress failed to get more than 55 seats.
