Kharge Can Become PM as Rahul Will Sacrifice Post: AICC SC Dept Chief
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|September 11, 2025
All-India Congress Committee (AICC) Scheduled Castes department chairperson Rajendra Pal Gautam on Wednesday said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge can become the country's PM if I.N.D.I.A bloc gets a majority in the next General Election as LOP in Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi—whose mission is to ensure social justice through power sharing—would sacrifice the top post.
"There is every possibility of Kharge becoming the PM, which is why we are strengthening the SC department. Rahul is a pure-hearted person, and like his family members who sacrificed (PM post), he too would sacrifice, as his mission is to provide social justice. Even in Karnataka, a Dalit would become the CM if the time comes," Gautam told TNIE on the sidelines of his department's office-bearers meeting, which he held at the KPCC office in Bengaluru.
