Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress will not have a chief ministerial candidate in the 2026 assembly elections. The party will not be able to field any leader and will face the elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a meeting of senior leaders and MPs convened on Friday, adding that there was no room for doubt.
We will decide who the Congress chief minister will be after the elections by sitting in a room. We have many capable leaders among us. We cannot decide who the chief minister will be in advance. All this should be considered only after we get power. No one should create confusion among the people by saying that I am the chief minister. It will only help the media to misinterpret it,” Rahul Gandhi said at a meeting in Delhi.
Rahul’s warning is also being seen as a warning to a section of senior leaders who are secretly and openly trying to grab the CM post in Kerala. Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, who spoke at the meeting, did not hide his dislike for Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor in his speech. Modi’s praise cannot be tolerated any longer.
