Mallikarjun Kharge will now become the President of Congress, that is for sure. If Ashok became Gehlot, nothing could be said that what would have happened to the Congress? Gehlot was given the form of a superhero by the overwhelming support of the Congress MLAs of Rajasthan, but Gehlot is also a wonderful astute leader, who came to Delhi and cooled the anger of Sonia Gandhi. Not only did he get freedom from jumping into the ditch of the president, his chief minister’s post still seems to be intact.
After becoming the president, even Kharge will not have the courage to put his hand on Gehlot. Gehlot and several disgruntled Congress leaders also reached along with Kharge, who filled the candidature form. That is, all the satisfied and dissatisfied leaders did not hesitate to show their loyalty. It is true that Shashi Tharoor and Tripathi have also filled the form for the election of the President, but everyone knows that their condition will be the same as that of Jitendra Prasad in 2000.
He contested the election of Congress President against Sonia Gandhi. Shashi Tharoor is also going to be like him. Although he has spoken about Digvijay Singh, Ashok Gehlot and now Kharge in a very dignified manner. Will the situation of Congress change anything with this election to be held after 22 years? Will this setting sun be able to rise again? Will this jammed wheel be able to run again? It is difficult to say anything, because the mother-son rule over the Congress party will still continue as vigorously as before.
Although Kharge is a seasoned and well-mannered leader and has had many opportunities to be in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, who knows him outside Karnataka? The matter of the general public is different, even the Congress workers do not know them properly. It is true that he is the first Dalit after Jagjivan Ram to become the Congress President.
But Narendra Modi has already wreaked havoc on Nahle by making Ram Nath Kovind first and now Draupadi Murmu as the President. If the fortunes of the Congress happen, it cannot depend on the servants. Its owners should be proud that they do not have to see such a rebellion as Indira Gandhi saw. Who is relying on the claims of the owners that they are fair in this election of the president?
Mother and son should be happy that even the senior leaders who had raised the slogan of rebellion are now waving their tails in front of them. The hope that had been created for the revival of the Congress by this presidential election has been tarnished. Unless the Congress has an alternative leader and policy of Narendra Modi, it will continue to falter like this and it will be the misfortune of the Indian democracy and the Congress that it does not falter and collapse.
