In a strategic move that could reshape India’s political landscape, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has hinted at the possibility of either former AICC president Rahul Gandhi or party chief Mallikarjun Kharge being nominated for the position of Prime Minister if the INDIA alliance secures victory in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Tharoor, speaking at the inauguration of a US-based Silicon Valley-incubated D2C marketplace Way.com’s office at Technopark, shared his insights on the opposition coalition’s potential triumph over the BJP-led NDA government next year. He expressed optimism about the INDIA bloc’s chances and emphasized the significance of the coalition dynamics.
Tharoor’s Insightful Revelation: “Once the results are out, the coalition leaders will have to unite and select a candidate. My prediction is that from the Congress Party, it could be either Mr. Kharge, who would become India’s first Dalit Prime Minister, or Rahul Gandhi, given the family legacy within the party.”
Tharoor highlighted the essence of the Prime Minister’s role as the first among equals, underlining the confidence he had in the selected leader’s ability to shoulder the nation’s responsibilities effectively.
This development comes amidst heightened political maneuvers, with the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar making a significant move by releasing the Bihar Caste Census on Gandhi Jayanti. This strategic decision, months ahead of crucial assembly polls in states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh, appears to be a strategic move by the Opposition INDIA bloc against the NDA, setting the stage for the fiercely contested 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
As the political climate heats up, stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story. The battle for the nation’s leadership is poised to intensify, promising a riveting chapter in India’s democratic journey.
