Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor are the two individuals of height, and can’t be “remote controlled,” Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has said.
He was answering analysis from certain quarters that the two competitors for the post of Congress president will have little power as the party boss.
Both individuals who are remaining (in the surveys) have a position, have a point of view and are individuals of height and individuals of understanding. I don’t think either about them will be a controller (boss) and in all honesty, this tone is offending to the two of them.”
Tharoor and Kharge will go head to head in the political race for the Congress president’s post on October 17, with the outcomes planned for the nineteenth. It is broadly accepted that Kharge has the support of the Gandhi family, and is sure to win the political race.
Rahul’s remarks come simply a day after Mallikarjun Kharge had said the Congress president isn’t “remote controlled” by Sonia Gandhi or any other person of the family. Kharge was likewise incredulous of the BJP, saying the party’s leaders are chosen by agreement instead of by a popularity based political race process.
