Senior Congress leader Mallikharjun Kharge, who is contesting for the All India Congress Committee (AICC) President, has urged the party leaders to vote for him in the ensuing AICC polls.
Mr. Kharge, who is the Congress floor leader in the Lok Sabha, met the party leaders at Andhra Ratna Bhavan here on Saturday. He said that the AICC elections were inevitable as Sonia Gandhi and her other family members refused to take over as the party reins, and appealed to the party leaders to give him an opportunity.
He shared his views with senior leaders and said that he would coordinate with all cadres and strive for strengthening the party. In the next elections, 50% of the tickets would be given to contestants aged below 50 years, he said.
