"Mallikarjun Kharge Will Win": Congress' Siddaramaiah After Casting Vote

The Congress is set to have its first non-Gandhi chief in over 20 years as Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor face off in the party's internal election today. Calling Mr Kharge an experienced leader, former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said he deserves to become the new party chief as he has worked for the party for a long time. "In Karnataka, all voters have voted for Mallikarjun Kharge. He has been with the party for the past many years. Mr Kharge will build the party in a democratic manner," he told NDTV.
