- Shashi Tharoor
Mallikarjun Kharage and Shashi Taroor (Shashi Tharoor) took the fight to become Congress president. However, almost everyone agrees that Kharagi is going to sit in the president's chair. Because, even if none of the Gandhi contested, Kharag is seen as a 'approved' candidate. However, the two candidates were confident enough to win their own.
Both of the Kharag and Taru said that the Gandhi was neutral about the elections. At the same time, Taru's complaint, "Due to the bias of another party towards another candidate, we have been adversely." However, Madhusudan Mistry, chairman of the Congress Central Election Authority, expressed satisfaction over the election, saying a "free, fair and transparent".
The ballot box arrived from different parts of the country on Tuesday. It is there that the counting starts at 9am this morning.
Good to say, since independence, most of the time has led the Congress to some members of the Gandhi family. He has been elected unanimously. With more than one candidate, the election was held in the Congress only six times. For the first time, Mahatma Gandhi -backed P Sitaramaiya lost to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
