Kharji is the first non-Gandhiji to become a Congress president in more than two decades
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday welcomed Congress President Mallikarjun Kharj on his 81st birthday.
Best wishes to Shri Mallikarjun on his birthday. Modi tweeted.
The conference leader thanked him for his wishes.
A Dalit leader from Karnataka came from a humble background to play an important role in many positions in his party and the governments in his state and center.
He is the first member of the non-Gandhi family to lead the Congress in more than two decades as his party looks to him to guide it to a position of strength after several electoral setbacks.
