Kharge best suited to lead Congress in battle for India’s soul, says Sonia

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 and ensure unity among them, 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 shed their differences and emerge stronger.

"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".
