Emotional moment for me…worker’s son takes over as head of congress: Mallikarjun Kharge | News

Mallikarjun Kharge took charge on Wednesday as the first non-Gandhi president of the Indian National Congress in nearly two and a half decades. Kharge secured himself in the presidential election held last week by a huge margin of the highest post beating party MP Shashi Tharoor. Addressing party workers as leader for the first time, Kharge said: “It is an emotional moment for me as a worker’s son, an ordinary congressman, has taken over as the head of the congress party. I thank you all for this honor.”
