Can a non-Gandhi Congress leader take on PM Narendra Modi? | Iniside Story
It is a political first in India in 24 years. The main opposition Congress now has a head from outside the Nehru-Gandhi family, which has dominated the party since independence in 1947 and given India three prime ministers. The centrist party held an election and chose Mallikarjun Kharge, a veteran politician and former minister who has led the party in parliament. The Congress' support has fallen sharply as prime minister Narendra Modi's right-wing BJP dominates the political space. So can a non-Gandhi leader take on Modi with national elections due in 2024?
