Mallikarjun Kharge best suited to lead Congress in battle for India's soul: Sonia Gandhi
Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said Mallikarjun Kharge is «best suited» to lead the Congress party in the «historic battle for India's soul», while leaders of some INDIA bloc parties urged him to bring strength to the opposition and lead it to victory in next year's general elections. Opposition leaders used the occasion of a book launch on Kharge's completion of 50 years in electoral politics to assert that the Congress president should lead all opposition parties together so that they can win the 2024 elections.
DMK's T R Baalu, CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury and RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha were among those who hailed Kharge's leadership and called upon the opposition parties to give up their differences.
«As a strong organisational leader, who enjoys our confidence, Shri Mallikarjun Kharge is best suited to lead the Congress party in this historic battle for India's soul.
»In this, he has my steadfast support and that of the Congress party," Sonia Gandhi said at the function while launching the book «Mallikarjun Kharge — Political Engagement with Compassion, Justice and Inclusive Development».
