Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said that a meeting has been convened on January 10 to assign responsibilities to various units of the party for the Lok Sabha elections. He added that he is going to Delhi on Wednesday to hold the meeting. “I.N.D.I.A. bloc has taken some decisions regarding the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. I'm going to Delhi tomorrow. There is a meeting with various units of our party. We have to assign responsibilities to various units,” Kharge told reporters, as quoted by news agency PTI.
The 81-year-old Rajya Sabha member mentioned that the grand old party has appointed more than 500 representatives in the constituencies. Additionally, the party has appointed observers on a district-by-district basis.
According to PTI, Kharge said, “There is also a meeting in Karnataka tomorrow to decide on how to choose candidates. Similar exercises have taken place in other states.”

Regarding the recent disagreement on social media over Maldives ministers’ remarks, Kharge accused Modi of taking every matter "personally". Emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong ties with neighboring countries, the Congress leader highlighted that nations can’t change their neighbors. He also said countries fight when the worst situations arise, just like India fought Pakistan for the liberation of Bangladesh, PTI reported.
Kharge added, “Here he (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) hugs someone and calls some other wrong. He passes disparaging comments on the previous policies right from the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru saying that he did nothing. This is not good.” ALSO READ | 'Taking Everything Personally': Kharge's Dig At Modi Over Maldives Row
