Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday made a statement on the question of the mechanism to decide the Prime Minister, in case the I.N.D.I.A bloc manages to get the majority in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Kharge held a press conference in Chandigarh and said that if the I.N.D.I.A bloc wins the election, its partners will sit and decide on the PM’s name. The mechanism to choose the Prime Minister in case of the opposition bloc’s win remains the most hyped question, not only among the politicians but the general public.

The Congress president also targeted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Kharge said that PM Modi spreads lies that Congress will conduct a caste census and take away people’s jewellery, land and buffaloes. “We ruled for so many years, did we ever snatch someone’s mangalsutra?”asked the Congress chief.
He said, “Narendra Modi has understood that this time BJP is not going to form the government, that is why he is lying.” Requesting the people to vote in favour of the I.N.D.I.A bloc, Kharge said, “We want you to give a huge majority to the I.N.D.I.A. bloc this time and bring peace, prosperity and unity in the country.”
Speaking about the inflation and unemployment, Kharge said that despite being known as prosperous, Haryana and Punjab are facing peak unemployment and inflation. He promised that Congress will fill 30 lakh vacancies in the Centre and 2 lakh vacancies in Haryana.
