“My best wishes to Shri Mallikarjun Kharge Ji for his new responsibility as President of @INCIndia. May he have a fruitful tenure ahead. @kharge,” PM Modi wrote on Twitter.

A staunch Gandhi family loyalist from Karnataka, Kharge defeated Shashi Tharoor in an electoral contest by bagging nearly 84 per cent of votes in the party presidential election.

Kharge got 7,897 votes and Tharoor 1,072 votes, while 416 votes were declared invalid, Congress’ central election authority chairman Madhusudan Mistry said at a press conference at the AICC headquarters.

 


Addressing a press conference after his victory, Kharge said, "no one is big or small, all have to work together as ’karyakartas’ to strengthen Congress...We have to fight together against fascist forces who are attacking democracy and the Constitution."

Kharge said he will formally take charge on October 26.
