Ahead of the INDIA bloc's meeting in Mumbai later this month, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel on August 25 said he would want Rahul Gandhi to be its prime ministerial face.
He said the BJP is rattled by the popularity of Rahul Gandhi after his Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra and that is why it got him disqualified from Lok Sabha and even took away his official residence.
"As a Congress man, I feel Rahul Gandhi should be the prime ministerial face," Mr. Baghel told PTI in an interview. He was asked whether he would want Gandhi to be the face of the INDIA alliance in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
