BSP chief Mayawati and scholar Sujat Ambedkar's critique of Congress on Mallikarjun Kharge's election as party president suggests non-BJP parties may have a reason to worry.
Even though Kharge has not been big on capitalising on his caste identity, his elevation within the party comes at a time when space for Dalit politics is opening up in India.
Focus still on Gandhis, BJP leaders say they'll deploy the 'remote-controlled' narrative used during Manmohan Singh's tenure as PM, but will be 'careful' due to Kharge's Dalit identity.
Gandhi, who is in Andhra Pradesh as part of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, alluded to Kharge as the Congress chief even before the official results of the internal polls were announced.
While Congress presidents are mostly chosen via consensus, there have been times when elections were fought. Sonia is the only one from Gandhi family to have contested for the post.

The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
