Congress positions Rahul as 'face of INDIA bloc' for 2029 elections

Congress General Secretary K. C. Venugopal has stated that Rahul Gandhi will be the "face of the INDIA bloc" for the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Venugopal's comments come as the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has pitched Tamil actor Vijay as a prime ministerial candidate for the upcoming national polls.

The statement signals the Congress party's commitment to positioning Gandhi as the leading figure of the opposition coalition ahead of the next general elections.
