"Best-Suited To Fight for India's Soul": Sonia Gandhi Endorses M Kharge

Speaking at the launch of a book on Mr Kharge's public life where she was the Chief Guest, Mrs Gandhi said he is "best suited in fighting for India's soul".

Congress's Sonia Gandhi officially endorsed Mallikarjun Kharge's leadership for the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and expressed hope that the party leaders will concur. Mr Kharge had taken over the party's top post from Mrs Gandhi last year after an election that he contested on the Gandhis' suggestion.   

Speaking at the launch of a book on Mr Kharge's public life where she was the Chief Guest, Mrs Gandhi said he is "best suited in fighting for India's soul".  

Mr Kharge, Mrs Gandhi said, has always "placed the party organisation above his personal interest".
