Abhishek Singhvi discusses law, leadership at ET LegalWorld event

Indian Opinion Analysis

Singhvi’s dual roles as a parliamentarian and a senior advocate place him at an unusual intersection of law and politics, a combination that remains rare in India even though several eminent jurists have served in the Rajya Sabha. His arrival as Deputy Leader of the Opposition gives the Congress party a seasoned legal voice during a period when parliamentary debates increasingly turn on constitutional arguments, from the delimitation row to the Waqf Bill challenge. The full interview likely arrives before the Budget session, when the Opposition will need every procedural and legal weapon at its disposal. Union ministers have already signalled sharper floor exchanges, making a clear articulation of the Congress’s legal stance more consequential than routine silos of law and politics.
