With the general elections are approaching, all eyes are on Mallikarjun Kharge, the national president of the Congress party and presumably a national opponent to take on Modi. 

By likening the Sanatan Dharma to Malaria, Dengue, and COVID-19, the DMK Minister said that 'we shouldn't oppose the Sanatan Dharma, rather we have to eradicate it' like these diseases.  

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday slammed the BJP regime for ignoring the President for such historical events.

It must be noted that Rathod is contesting against Mallikarjun Kharge's son Priyank Kharge in Chittapur constituency in the upcoming Karnataka polls.

As the campaigns between both the parties are getting intensified, the war of words is scorching and Kharge's remarks have exhibited that trend.

The transition will happen after Kharge was handed over the certificate of election as he has become the first non-Gandhi to head the party in 24 years.

The suspension order was passed by DMK's General Secretary Durai Murugan on the grounds of bringing disrepute to the party.

While the veteran leader is flooded with wishes from several leaders, let's take a look at the political journey of Kharge, who rose from a grassroots level to the helm of one of India's biggest political parties.

The party has announced the official results, declaring Kharge as the new chief which has sparked a new beginning for the party amidst the tough times.
