Kharge as opposition's PM face? Mamata, Kejriwal ruffle many
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal propose Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge as opposition's prime ministerial candidate, citing his Dalit background. Kejriwal suggests Kharge as the alliance's PM choice, emphasizing the advantage of having a Dalit face. The pitch for Kharge creates awkwardness among participants, including Congress president. The meeting lacks the earlier positive chemistry and many regional party leaders skip the press conference. Seat sharing to be finalized by January 10.
