Mallikarjun Kharge becoming Congress President revives the party in Karnataka
Mallikarjun Kharge was elected the National President of the Congress in the year 2022 itself. Kharge becoming the Congress President gave life to the party in Karnataka.

Kharge has been an MLA from Karnataka for 9 times.
About 23 percent of Karnataka’s population is Dalit. 35% of the seats in the state are reserved for the Scheduled Castes. It is believed that the influence of Congress on these seats increased only because of Mallikarjun Kharge. Kharge, a nine-time MLA from Karnataka, had a good influence in this area. Though he did not get a chance to become the chief minister here, he became one of the most influential leaders of the Karnataka Congress after joining national politics. By projecting him, it became easier for the Congress to get the support of the backward castes.
Karnataka assembly elections were especially important for Mallikarjun Kharge because he is a native of Karnataka. He never tires of calling himself the ‘Bhoomi Putra’ of Karnataka. This is the first election after he became the national president and Kharge started his innings brilliantly by leading the party to victory in his home state.
The high command will take the final decision on the name of the Chief Minister – Congress President
Speaking to the media in Bengaluru after the Karnataka assembly election results, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said, “In the coming days too, wherever state elections are held, we will try our best to win the elections like in Karnataka. There will be a meeting of the MLAs here, the consensus reached by all in the name of the Chief Minister will be placed before the high command. The high command will take the final decision.” The Congress President said that the victory of the Congress is the victory of the people. People have defeated a corrupt government. We have a lot to do ahead. We have to fulfill our promises, we will fulfill our 5 guarantees.
