Hyderabad, Apr 14 (PTI) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge Friday said it was because of his party that a person like him with a humble background could have a long political career and become an MLA and MP.
Kharge, who addressed a 'Jai Bharat Satyagraha Sabha' at Mancherial in Telangana Friday night, said he would not have been a lawmaker had Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi not encouraged a "poor man" like him.
He said that Sonia Gandhi gave him an opportunity to work as the president of the Congress which is a huge responsibility.
