“You need Congress for the ‘B’ form, you need Congress’ leadership during the election campaign and you want Congress’ ideology. But after winning and coming to power, saying such things is wrong,” Priyank said, without naming Rajanna.
“The party is not by, or for, individuals. None must forget that we (leaders) are here because of workers. Without workers, neither am I a leader nor anyone else,” DH quoted Priyank as saying.
Priyank Kharge said the Congress has a history of over 140 years and leadership keeps evolving over time.
On the delay in appointing Congress workers to boards and corporations, he asked party workers to be patient. He said chairpersons have already been appointed and the appointment of directors is pending. While 85% of the process is done, the rest will be done,” he said.
Citing his father and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, “One needs to have patience in politics. There’s no bigger example than Kharge for hard work and patience,” he said.
