Deve Gowda, Kharge joked that he “dated” the Congress but “married” Narendra Modi, drawing laughter from across party lines. Even the Prime Minister was seen smiling at the comment. The remark highlighted the shifting political alliances over the years, especially in Karnataka politics. Kharge also reflected on his long association with leaders like Sharad Pawar and praised their contributions.
