Kharge or PM Modi - Who wore his politics better?

Congress defends its president for questioning the ruling party’s contribution to India’s independence. He also likened the saffron party to a mouse that masquerades as a lion

On the 133rd birth anniversary of independent India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led centre of following a policy of "changing names", instead of focusing on work.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, on Wednesday, slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government saying that it may fool the people of the country but not the people of Himachal Pradesh.

Congress steering committee included former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, as well as former Prime minister Manmohan Singh. Most of the office-bearers have also been included in the newly constituted steering committee.

Will it be a fresh start? Will it be a case of continuity? These are some of the questions Congress will ponder over as all members of the Congress Working Committee, general secretaries and in-charges resigned from their posts.

On Wednesday, when Congress’ interim president officially absolved herself of the responsibility, with veteran Mallikarjun Kharge taking over, Sonia Gandhi acknowledged that she is "feeling a sigh of relief".

The campaigner list clearly indicates that Sonia Gandhi is still the supreme boss of the party.

Hours after Mallikarjun Kharge was elected the Grand Old Party’s first non-Gandhi president in more than two decades, the veteran politician he vowed to fight against the fascist forces who are attacking every democratic institution under the guise of communalism.

Reacting to the allegations of irregularities in the Congress presidential election, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi put his faith in Madhusudan Mistry, who is the chairman of the Congress’ Central Election Authority (CEA).
