He had officially taken over as the Congress president on October 26. ”Mallikarjun Kharge: Congress President Committed To People’s Good. Shri Kharge embodies the virtues of the Indian National Congress – Virtues of democracy, social justice, secularism, inclusive growth and patriotism,” the Congress said in a post on X.

”Having risen through the ranks, he is an ideal example of what passion and persistence can achieve,” the party said. From a humble position of a block-level leader to becoming the party’s elected president, his journey studded with 55 years of electoral success is a testament to his hard work, dedication and commitment to the cause of democracy, the Congress said.

”He (Kharge) is a fearless leader who fights for and defends the ideals he believes in. He also champions the rights of poor & marginalized,” the party said. ”Under his leadership, the party has made significant progress. He has also been instrumental in revitalizing the party’s organizational structure & outreach to the people,” the Congress said.

It asserted that Kharge is a visionary leader who is committed to building a better future for India. ”He excels at consensus making and staunchly stands up for what is right and just,” the party said, praising Kharge.
