 4 reasons for Kharge's claim for Congress President: Digvijay withdrew his nomination if Gandhi family did not get support; kharge compulsive choice

The contest for the post of Congress President has now been reduced to Mallikarjun Kharge, Shashi Tharoor and Jharkhand's KN Tripathi. Digvijay Singh, who took the time to enroll, was out of the race within a few minutes. Mallikarjun Kharge's new name added to the candidates. Apart from Digvijay, Ashok Gehlot, who was initially considered the candidate for the post of President, became his proposer.

Political analyst Rashid Kidwai believes that Digvijay Singh has become a victim of internal politics of Congress. At the same time, Professor Abhay Dubey in CSDS says – making Kharge the president is a compulsion deal, because Sonia Gandhi cannot make Shashi Tharoor the president. Digvijay felt that he would not be made the president, so he withdrew his candidature.

During the nomination, along with Mallikarjun Kharge, big leaders of Congress arrived as proposers. Kharge said that on October 17, let us see, what is the result. I hope I will win.

Now understand the scenario that changed rapidly in two days...

Just a day before the nomination, Digvijay Singh was asked that if you are contesting for the post of President, then it should be assumed that you have the support of the Gandhi family?

Digvijay's answer- The grace of Gandhi family has always been on me. Every moment, every position, every time got it because of him.

Next question- Will the next post also get due to the Gandhi family?

Digvijay's answer – The Gandhi family has left the election open. That's what I believe, anyone can contest elections.

Then Friday came i.e. the last day of nomination...

10:35 am: Congress's Central Election Authority chairman Madhusudan Mistry said Shashi Tharoor, Digvijay Singh and perhaps Mallikarjun Kharge would file nominations. This time more people want to nominate, so we are ready for elections. Shashi Tharoor ji had asked to file nominations by 11:25 PM and Digvijay Singh ji between 11 and 11:30.

11:30 am: Suddenly the whole scene changed. For the first time, the name of Mallikarjun Kharge started running for nomination. Digvijay Singh came forward and said- I respect him a lot. So I have decided that I will support them.

Digvijay Singh, who was being considered as the next president of Congress, himself backed down. Even the political experts did not understand how this happened. We asked many Congress leaders off the record that what happened? He said that he himself was surprised.

Now Kharge is the strongest contender for the post of President. There are 4 reasons behind this.

1. Kharge was selected as an alternative after Gehlot's no.

The Congress high command was earlier trying to remove Ashok Gehlot from the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan and make him the national president. The intention was that an elected representative and the chief minister of a large state would take over as the president. He will look like a real leader, without looking like a puppet. Gehlot's rebellious attitudes ruined this exercise. Whether Gehlot will continue as the Chief Minister or not is not known yet, but it has been decided that he will not become the President of the party.

2. Bad image of Digvijay created due to statements

Digvijay Singh has made the party gritty many times with his statements. Be it calling terrorist Osama bin Laden Osamaji, or saying about the UPA government that the two centers of power (Manmohan and Sonia) could not function properly. Many experts consider Digvijay Singh as the reason for leaving the Congress government from Madhya Pradesh.

They say that if Digvijay could not save the government in his state, then who will save the party at the national level. According to Congress sources, several leaders had met Sonia Gandhi and said that Digvijay Singh should not be made the main candidate. This will harm the party. After this, the name of Kharge was carried forward by removing Digvijay.
