CHARGE OF THE 'INDIA' BRIGADE

On August 20, the 79th birth anniversary of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge announced the formation of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the highest decision-making body of the party. In recent Congress history, it was the longest time—10 months—that a party president had taken to form the CWC after election or selection as the head of the Grand Old Party. Kharge was elected Congress president in October 2022, which was ratified at the party plenary in Raipur in February this year.

Perhaps the octogenarian Kharge— in the Congress for more than five decades—was waiting for the right moment to unveil the team that would help him fight the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP in arguably the biggest battle of his political career—the 2024 Lok Sabha election. And the timing could not have been better. Under Kharge’s leadership, the party has won two assembly elections—in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka—in a span of six months. In Karnataka, prestige was at stake as it is Kharge’s home state.
