Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge is considering not contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, raising concerns within the party. Sources suggest he may nominate his son-in-law instead for the Gulbarga constituency in Karnataka. Kharge, currently Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, emphasizes the need to focus on the bigger picture rather than his own campaign. This move, unprecedented for a Congress chief, contrasts with past practices of party leaders contesting elections. Kharge's potential decision comes amid discussions of his role in the opposition bloc's leadership after the polls.
