During the press conference, he also wished Shashi Tharoor. He said that we stood as a representative in the election. In such a situation, both of us met after the election and discussed how to take the party forward. Apart from this, he also expressed his gratitude towards Sonia Gandhi. He said that for 23 years, Sonia Gandhi has strengthened the party with blood and sweat. Under his leadership, we formed the government at the Center and in the state. His work will be remembered for a long time in the history of Congress.

Kharge said that today inflation is increasing in the country. He said that the gap between rich and poor is increasing in the country. In this regard, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has decided to travel between Kashmir and Kanyakumari. Today the whole country is joining his struggle. I appeal to the Congressmen and the people of the country that you all walk shoulder to shoulder with Rahul Gandhi. Kharge said that we all have to work as workers. We will all work together. Apart from this, we will also fight together to save democracy. During this, he also attacked the central government. He said that the government sitting in Delhi makes a lot of promises, but does not work. He said that the country cannot be run with a dictatorial attitude. In such a situation, we all have to fight together against these forces.

Kharge said that work will be done at the booth level to strengthen the party. For this, the opinion of all party workers and leaders will be taken. Apart from this, he also thanked the representatives of Congress for being made the President and said that I will stand on your expectations.
