”Rahul Gandhi announced Name of Kharge #Mallikaarjunkharge as Congress President before results are announced & then Congress says elections are unbiased and Gandis have no influence. By the way @kharge will take moral responsibility & resign after 2024 loss to save Pappu,” read the comment of a fourth user.
