Congress presidential candidate Mallikarjun Kharge responds when asked about party's PM face

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, who is fighting the party's presidential polls, on Wednesday did not give a direct answer to a question about whether he or Rahul Gandhi will be the party's prime ministerial candidate in 2024 Lok Sabha polls and gave a bizarre response to describe his situation, saying, "Bakrid mein bachenge toh Muharram mein nachenge". "I am contesting the organisational election. There is a saying 'Bakrid mein bachenge toh Muharram mein nachenge'. First, let these elections get over and let me become president, then we will see," Kharge said at a press conference held at PCC office here. Kharge was asked if he or Rahul Gandhi will be the "PM face" in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Kharge, who tendered resignation as leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha to contest the party's presidential poll, is facing contest from party MP Shashi Tharoor. Kharge met Congress delegates and appealed to them to vote in his favour. The Congress leader also said he believes in collective leadership.
