New Delhi, Oct 9 (TIWN) Congress party's presidential candidate Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said he will implement the Udaipur Declaration -- the party had adopted during its Chintan Shivir meet in May this year -- if he is elected to the top post of the grand old party.

Kharge, who visited  APCC headquarters - Andhra Ratna Bhavan in Vijayawada on Saturday evening to canvas for his election said he is in the election race, only because Gandhi family members have decided not to contest for the position.

“I never imagined to get the unique opportunity to fight the Congress party president elections. Since Rahul Gandhi, madam Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi decided not to contest the election for party president post, Congress party leaders and cadre asked me to contest, so I am here seeking your support,” he said

Explaining his credentials including his 9 consecutive elections as MLA, Kharge said he is contesting elections on behalf of Congress, so as to fight effectively against BJP and RSS.  He explained about how he lost his family members to Razakars in Hyderabad when he was young.
