Kharge’s Bold Call to Action

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge delivered a stirring address to party workers on Monday, declaring that the country is witnessing what he called the “second battle of independence.” He urged Congress members to stand united against the current regime, likening their struggle to the pre-1947 freedom movement.

Speaking at a gathering as part of the ongoing campaign trail for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Kharge emphasized the importance of reclaiming the "soul of the Constitution" and protecting democratic institutions.

Constitution Under Threat Says Kharge

Kharge accused the ruling BJP of systematically dismantling constitutional values and targeting opposition voices. “This is no longer just a political fight—this is a national duty,” he said. He called upon Congress workers to stay vigilant and spread awareness about the alleged centralization of power, curbs on dissent, and increasing inequality.

Congress Strategy for 2024 Elections

In preparation for the elections, Kharge highlighted the Congress’s core agenda—restoring secularism, safeguarding institutions, and rebuilding an inclusive economy. He reiterated the party’s commitment to welfare policies, social justice, and freedom of expression.

The address is being seen as a strategic move to energize the Congress base and position the party as the main opposition voice in the face of rising BJP dominance.

Unity and Resistance Key Themes

Kharge’s words echoed calls for unity among opposition parties and the need to form a broader alliance. "This second freedom struggle needs the support of every citizen who believes in democracy," he stated, urging people to reject fear and authoritarianism.
