Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge lost his cool at a party event in Bengaluru after workers raised “DK-DK” slogans, telling them that the gathering was meant for the party and not for any individual leader. The incident took place on Sunday during a mega Congress convention in Bengaluru, where Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who had served as Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president since 2020, formally handed over the party’s charge to BK Hariprasad.

This is not an individual’s programme, it is a party programme. You useless fellows There is no worship of individuals here, we are here for the party programme which brings all of us together,” Kharge said.
The Congress chief said he had nearly six decades of political experience and reminded workers that many leaders had risen within the party despite their individual contributions being limited. “I have 58 years of political experience. Many leaders have come here; although their contribution to the party is small, the party has given them a very big contribution,” he said. Kharge added that those raising slogans would be identified through video footage and action would follow after a review.
“Whoever is shouting here, there will be footage. I will take disciplinary action after reviewing the footage,” he said. Ends
