Recently I read an interview with Mallikarjun Kharge, which revealed that Narendra Modi is a PR bubble that will burst one day and there is scientific principle that whatever goes up has to come down. But can Kharge make a difference? I don't think so. The Congress needs a strong and mass based decisive leader who is capable of taking Modi head on in every sense. The same way Priyanka did in her election rallies which really disturbed the apple cart of the BJP and Rahul's Bharat Jodo Yatra and Siddaramaiah and DK Shivkumar Lingayats and Vokalligas who didn't split votes with local parties played a crucial win in Karnataka which will pave the way in rejuvenating the Congress in future State elections culminating in Lok Sabha elections in 2024. In my opinion the Congress should project Priyanka as the face for the Prime Minister as she has more mass appeal than Rahul. If the opposition parties try to build an alliance for one cause to unsettle Modi and the BJP from power, Congress should not become the fulcrum around which an opposition alliance is built. The grand old party of Indian politics should take a back seat till they dethrone the BJP government from power.
