Mallikarjun Kharge’s 2024 prediction: Next govt at the Centre will be of a Congress-led alliance

The Congress president projected that an alliance government will be formed at the Centre in 2024, with his party taking the lead. This announcement comes ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, when there is no unity in the opposition and several political leaders are subtly projecting themselves as candidates for prime minister.

"For the last 20 years, Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and BJP looted Nagaland. It's high time that the people get justice and a government that works for the people," Kharge said at a public gathering in Chumoukedima in poll-bound Nagaland.

"The policies of the BJP aim to obliterate the Nagas' distinctive and indigenous culture. The politics of divisiveness and animosity, as well as this assault on Nagaland culture, must be opposed by the people of Nagaland," he said.

He also attacked the BJP by alleging that the party pressurized MLAs and formed the government in six-seven states. He said that despite the BJP's claims to uphold democracy and the Constitution, the party consistently engages in anti-democratic behaviour.
