According to Kharge, Congress has no interest in the position of prime minister.
In the dynamic world of Indian politics, statements and counter-statements often dominate the headlines. Recently, a claim made by prominent Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge caught the attention of the public and the media alike. According to Kharge, the Congress party has no interest in the position of prime minister. This assertion raised eyebrows and led to discussions on the party’s stance on the coveted leadership role. In this blog, we aim to explore the context of Kharge’s statement, analyze the party’s position, and shed light on the Congress’s aspirations in Indian politics.
The Context of Kharge’s Statement
Mallikarjun Kharge, a senior leader and seasoned politician, made the statement during an interview with a leading news channel. The remark came in response to persistent speculation surrounding the Congress party’s prime ministerial candidate for the upcoming elections. For years, political analysts and the media have engaged in conjecture about who could lead the party and become the face of the opposition alliance.
The Congress Party’s Historical Role
The Indian National Congress, established in 1885, is one of the oldest and most influential political parties in India. Throughout its history, the party has played a significant role in shaping the nation’s destiny, leading the struggle for independence against British colonial rule and providing the country with its first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
Over the years, the Congress party has seen both ups and downs, holding power at the center for several terms and also experiencing periods of opposition. During its tenure in government, the Congress has implemented key policy initiatives, steered economic reforms, and addressed various social issues.
The Party’s Position on the Prime Ministerial Role
While the Indian National Congress has a long history of leadership, it has also emphasized the values of democracy and collective decision-making. The party has often projected itself as a coalition-builder, forging alliances with like-minded parties to form governments at the center and in states.
The claim made by Mallikarjun Kharge, therefore, needs to be understood in this context. It is not an assertion of disinterest in governing the country or abdicating the responsibility of leadership. Instead, it reflects the party’s belief in building a consensus and projecting a united front with its allies. The Congress has time and again expressed its commitment to democratic processes and has given precedence to the coalition partners’ views while selecting the prime ministerial candidate.
Importance of Coalition Politics
In recent years, coalition politics has become more prevalent in Indian governance. With the emergence of regional parties and the fragmentation of votes, no single party has been able to secure an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of India’s parliament) on its own. As a result, alliances and coalition governments have become the norm.
In such a scenario, the Congress’s focus on the collective leadership approach is a pragmatic and strategic move. It ensures that the party maintains harmonious relationships with its allies and remains open to accommodating the aspirations of different regional parties in the larger interest of the nation.
In conclusion, Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement about the Congress party’s lack of interest in the prime ministerial position should not be misconstrued as a lack of ambition or commitment to governance. Rather, it underscores the party’s recognition of the importance of coalition politics and its willingness to forge alliances with other parties to form a stable and effective government.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the Indian National Congress’s approach to leadership remains rooted in the principles of democracy, inclusivity, and collective decision-making. Ultimately, the selection of a prime ministerial candidate will depend on the dynamics of the political scenario, the strength of the coalition, and the mutual consensus of the alliance partners.

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.
Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.
Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.
Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”
The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.
Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.
Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.
The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.

The Congress’s manifesto promised legal guarantees to MSP, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, and a nationwide caste census.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress for its Lok Sabha election manifesto, claiming it was influenced by the Muslim League.
Modi criticized Congress’s manifesto, which he said reflected the same mindset as the Muslim League’s during the freedom movement, at a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, where voters will vote in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 19.
The Congress manifesto is largely influenced by the Muslim League, with any remaining parts being dominated by leftists.
The Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, stated that the BJP government is committed to implementing government schemes that cater to all sections, castes, and communities.
Modi’s attack comes after the Congress released its general election manifesto, emphasizing the ‘five pillars of justice’, including ‘Yuva Nyay’, ‘Naari Nyay’, ‘Kisaan Nyay’, ‘Shramik Nyay’, and ‘Hissedari Nyay’.
The Congress has pledged legal guarantees for the minimum support price, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, personal law reform, and a nationwide caste census.
Congress has announced that the MSP payable to farmer-sellers at procurement centers and APMCs will be directly credited to the farmer’s bank account digitally.
The grand old party announced that Congress will create and execute a robust import-export policy for agricultural commodities, prioritizing the protection of farmers’ interests and concerns.
The Lok Sabha elections will commence on April 19, with subsequent phases scheduled for April 26, May 7, 13, 20, 25, and June 1, with the vote counting scheduled for June 4.

Fernandes, a former navy captain from Kargil war, believes his candidacy represents the voice of every Goan and intends to bring it to Parliament.
The Congress party has announced its list of six candidates for both North and South Goa parliamentary seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, announced by AICC general secretary K C Venugopal.
Congress has selected former Union minister Ramakant Khalap for the North Goa seat and former Navyman Viriato Fernandes for the South Goa seat.
Fernandes, a former navy captain from Kargil war, believes his candidacy represents the voice of every Goan and intends to bring it to Parliament.
Fernandes stated that the ticket is for all Goans and activists who have been protesting against the injustices of the BJP government, including issues like unemployment, inflation, industrialization of Goa’s coast through coal handling projects, and railway double tracking.
The ruling party is threatening democracy by controlling independent institutions and using them to harass opposition figures, including former Jharkhand and Delhi chief ministers Hemant Soren and Arvind Kejriwal, in an unprecedented attack on democracy.
Fernandes, who previously lost to BJP’s Mauvin Godinho in the 2022 Goa legislative assembly polls, will face Pallavi Dempo, the first woman MP candidate named by the BJP, in the upcoming election.
Khalap represented the north Goa seat from 1996 to 1998, winning it for the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.
Khalap, a seven-time MLA, is set to challenge BJP MP Shripad Naik for the North Goa seat, aiming to retain it for a sixth consecutive term.
The party has announced candidates for three seats in Madhya Pradesh and one for the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
Goa’s Lok Sabha seats will be voted for during the third phase of voting on May 7, with the counting of votes scheduled for June 4.
