Mallikarjun Kharge Congress Maharashtra elections: Maharashtra has a special place in Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s heart as he speaks fluent Marathi and has spoken in the language during most of his campaign in the poll-bound state.
Mallikarjun Kharge also became the incharge of Maharashtra at one time and made sure that the party’s foundation day was celebrated in Mumbai after he became the president in 2022.
As per the sources, he was eager and insisted on becoming a part of the western state poll strategy, unlike Haryana where he was not too active in the campaigning. He was so eager that he hosted more rallies in the state than other Congress leaders, especially the Gandhis, who seem satisfied to concede to the party chief.

When the state media turn up during press conferences, he immediately switches to Marathi language, and his fluency in the language acts as an advantage for him.
Thus, the election clash between Kharge vs Yogi Adityanath will be remembered the most, and the party has also agreed upon this.
As they are aware that the Congress president, who is fluent in Marathi, will be the most qualified man to handle the situation, no one else will confront Adityanath.
In the previous election, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was the center of attention. Thus, Rahul Gandhi was responsible for the BJP’s failure to secure a simple majority in the Lok Sabha elections, and the decent performance by the INDIA bloc.

Many believed that Kharge may have felt like a footnote, but Maharashtra is Kharge’s battleground, and the Gandhis do not have a problem with it.
The Congress president shares the gravitas, acumen, and maturity of a politician with NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and, to a certain extent, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray.
Because of his vast experience, he is a hardcore neta, and he is getting a chance to emerge on his own as he is familiar with this state.
