DC Edit | As election season begins, Kharge faces trial by fire

Deccan Chronicle  

Mallikarjun Kharge has started off as Congress president making all right noises, but the way he faces the challenges that have mounted before him over the years will decide whether he has a grasp of them. Mr Kharge’s first task will be to reintroduce the basics of democracy in the party and the first test will be to see if he goes for elections to the Congress Working Committee. Mr Kharge has aligned himself with the idea of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, undertaken by former party president Rahul Gandhi when he said the party will seek to “demolish this system of lies, treachery and hatred”. Mr Kharge has said he will follow the Udaipur Declaration and reserve 50 per cent of the party’s posts to those below 50 years of age. With 53 members in the Lok Sabha and two chief ministers, the Congress is at the lowest ebb in electoral politics; Mr Kharge may take relief from the fact that it will be hard to descend to a greater depth.
