Taking a jibe at the BJP's slogan of Congress Mukt Bharat, Kharge said- According to, in the name of making a new India, they give the slogan of making a Congress-mukt Bharat, because they know that as long as the Congress is present, they will not do so.

Kharge said I know this is a difficult time, efforts are being made to change the democracy which Congress established. Thanks to Rahul Gandhi for Bharat Jodo Yatra, new energy is being infused into the whole country.
Sonia said - relieved by leaving the post
On this occasion, Sonia Gandhi, who was the interim president of Congress, said that she is relieved by handing over the charge of the post of President to Kharge. A great burden has been lifted from his head. He said- I congratulate the new party president Kharge Ji. What is most satisfying is that those who have been elected as the President are experienced and down-to-earth leaders. Working as a simple worker, he has reached this height with his hard work and dedication. Sonia also thanked Congress leaders and workers for her tenure.
Tributes to three generations of the Gandhi family
Kharge paid tribute to Gandhiji at Rajghat before reaching the AICC headquarters to assume the post of Congress President.

Apart from this, he is also the second leader from Karnataka to hold this post.
The challenge of handling the party and winning the election
The bigger their victory over Kharge, the bigger the challenges are in front of him. At the time when he has come forward to take the responsibility of the party's high command, then only two states Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh are left with a Congress government. At the same time, in Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu, the party is involved in the coalition government, but the Chief Minister belongs to other parties.
When Kharge became the president, there are assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat this year. At the same time, in the next year i.e. 2023, elections are to be held in 10 states including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. In such a situation, the challenge before Kharge will be to unite the party and perform better in the election field.
