Vote for Us or Not, but at Least Attend My Funeral: Appeal from Congress Chief

During a poll rally in Afzalpur, an 81-year-old speaker urged the public to vote for the Congress candidate, warning that not doing so would imply he had no place in Kalaburagi. The Congress has put forward Kharge’s son-in-law Radhakrishna Doddamani as its candidate, while the BJP’s sitting MP Umesh Jadhav is in the race.

Noting his previous electoral successes and failures, Mr. Kharge emphasized the importance of voters’ support in the upcoming election. He also appealed to the public to show their respect even if they do not vote for the Congress by asking them to attend his funeral if they believe he has worked for the benefit of Kalaburagi.

Mr. Kharge expressed his unwavering commitment to remaining in politics until his last breath, stating his dedication to opposing the ideologies of the BJP and RSS. He emphasized that retirement may occur from a position but one should never retire from their principles.

The speaker also advised Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who was present at the rally, to continue opposing the ideologies of the BJP and RSS even after retiring from his official political positions. This unedited story has been published from a syndicated feed.
