A big political debate is happening in India now. On February 24, 2026, Omar Abdullah spoke about the INDIA group. He is the top man in Jammu and Kashmir. He said Rahul Gandhi should be the group's main leader. He does not like the idea of Mamata Banerjee being the head. Some people in the TMC group said Mamata should be the face. But Omar says the Congress group is the biggest part of the team. He talked to press men in Delhi today. He says the team needs one voice to win the big vote.

Omar told the media that Rahul Gandhi works very hard. He thinks Rahul is the best man to lead the big fight. He said that Congress is the only group that lives in every part of India. Other small groups, like the TMC, are only big in one land. Omar thinks that picking a small group leader will cause more fights. He wants all the groups to stay as one under the Congressman. This talk comes when there is a lot of fear in the group. Many men are fighting about who will be the next king.

The CM also said that small house fights should not stop the big goal. He wants the INDIA group to look at the next big vote. He said that Mamata Banerjee is a strong lady in Bengal. But he thinks her way might not work for all of India. Many congressmen are glad with what Omar said.
