NCP chief Sharad Pawar opposes projecting a prime ministerial candidate before the elections, citing Janata Party's example in 1978. TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee proposed Mallikarjun Kharge for the top job, but he declined for the post, emphasizing the need to focus on winning seats. Cong agrees with Pawar's stance & believed that the PM face should not be announced prior to the elections. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated that Priyanka Gandhi has been an influential campaigner.
