In the aftermath of the recent elections, the Congress party is faced with a decision on whether to sit in the opposition or explore the possibility of forming a government with former allies like TDP and JD(U). Rahul Gandhi, a key leader of the Congress, indicated that a meeting of I.N.D.I.A. leaders will take place to discuss the next steps.
During a press conference alongside Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul emphasized the importance of consulting their alliance partners before making any decisions. The results of the meeting will determine whether the Congress will stake a claim to form a government or choose to remain in opposition.
Rahul and Kharge highlighted the need for strategic discussions with potential allies, refraining from disclosing details to the media to prevent premature leaks. They also acknowledged the election outcome as a clear message against the ruling party, describing it as a political and moral defeat for the BJP.
Overall, the Congress leaders expressed their commitment to upholding democracy and the Constitution, emphasizing the importance of standing up against authoritarian leadership. The upcoming meeting will shed light on the party’s future course of action in the evolving political landscape.
