If the Gujarat election is to be held now, BJP is projected to return to power in the 182-member assembly with 133 to 143 seats, while the Congress and AAP could secure around 28 to 37 and 5 to 14 seats, respectively.

Having served in three different capacities as leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Assembly, leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, and later as leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha, Kharge is taking on his new role at a time when the party is at a historic low, electorally.

According to officials, the investigation uncovered alleged misuse of funds and money laundering while receiving funds from foreign countries, including China, and manipulation of documents while filing income-tax returns.

Rahul Gandhi, who led the party's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' into Andhra Pradesh, made the remarks during a press conference around 1:30 pm, just as the counting began. The results were not made public until 2:00 pm.

Mallikarjun Kharge was declared president of the Congress Party on Wednesday, the first non-Gandhi to head the party in two decades. Kharge got over 7,897 votes, meanwhile Shashi Tharoor got 1,072 votes. Here's everything you need to know about Kharge.

Mallikarjun Kharge is the new Congress President and will be first non-Gandhi to hold post in over 2 decades. He will replace interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, who has been at the post ever since Rahul Gandhi stepped down after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

On Monday, the polling for the Congress presidential election commenced at 10 AM and continued till 4 PM. The counting of votes would be taken up on Wednesday (October 19) and the results are expected the same day.

"A matter of respect for women from the Red Fort, but in reality support for 'rapists,' the difference between Prime Minister's promise and intention is clear, PM has only cheated women," Congress MP Rahul Gandhi tweeted.

Rahul Gandhi admitted in a light-hearted chat that he doesn't wear sunscreen when conducting the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka. Rahul can be seen in the internet sensational video joking about with a group of villagers in Karnataka while taking a break for a "gupshup" during the yatra.

In an exclusive interview to Asianet News Network, Mallikarjun Kharge's son, Priyank Kharge, stated that the new Congress president won't be remote controlled by the Gandhi family and also highlighted that the election process is a healthy one that will result in the overall victory of the Grand Old Party.
