Tharoor and Kharge have both, however, reiterated that none of the Gandhi family members are favouring either of them. It will be a tough battle between the two veterans with Tharoor expected to enjoy the backing of the youth Congress leaders. Meanwhile, Tharoor has vowed for a constructive change in Congress, with the agenda to make it more inclusive and modern. Kharge, who is considered to be the favourite, said he will have no shame in taking suggestions from the Gandhi family and would walk in the footsteps of his party's ‘Chintan Shivir’ declarations announced at a three-day event in Rajasthan earlier this year. The two leaders have campaigned in several states leading up to the election today, and there has been prominent disparity in the nature of their promises. Whoever emerges as the winner between Kharge and Tharoor will take over as the first non-Gandhi president of Congress in over 24 years. The battle for the top post of the grand old party is happening amid a gripping crisis that Congress faces, including failing to win adequate seats in the last two general elections and also performing poorly in the five states that went into polls earlier this year - getting dethroned in Punjab. 3LvvALEHp9- Jairam Ramesh October 17, 2022 It is the meeting room container converted into a polling booth for the Congress Presidential elections.
