Two days are left for the Congress President election process to begin. It is reported that the nomination process will start from September 24. At present, the election is being considered between Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor. But the reactions of Congress leaders are indicating that Tharoor is not getting support within the party itself.
Demand to hand over the command to Rahul Gandhi
Congress spokesperson Gaurav Vallabh on Thursday said “as a worker” that former president Rahul Gandhi should take charge again. He tweeted, “…Like crores of workers, my first wish is that Rahul Gandhiji should give his leadership to the Congress and the country.”
Voice raised in Congress against Rahul Gandhi too! a close in opposition to the proposals
Here, Congress units in about a dozen states have also passed resolutions in support of Rahul. These include the names of Punjab, Goa, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bihar and Jammu and Kashmir. At the same time, many leaders also openly want to see the Wayanad MP in the role of captain. Many big leaders including Mallikarjun Kharge have said that Rahul should take over as the president.
Is Tharoor isolated?
Vallabh wrote, ‘But if Rahul Gandhiji is neutral in his decision and has to choose between the two names that are coming up in public discussion, then there can be no comparison between the two.’
He described the selection of the chairman as easy. He writes, ‘On the one hand, Ashok Gehlot ji, who is associated with the workers and the ground, who has the experience of being a Union Minister 3 times, Chief Minister 3 times, MP 5 times, MLA 5 times, who has defeated Modi-Shah in a direct contest. Who has 45 years of unblemished political career.
She tweeted another, “On the other hand there is Shashi Tharoor sahib who has only one major contribution to the party in the last 8 years – sent letters to Congress President Sonia Gandhi ji when she was hospitalised, this act made me like He caused pain to crores of party workers. The selection is very simple and clear.’
Tharoor is not getting support from Kerala too
Speaking to India Today, Congress Chief Whip in Lok Sabha K Suresh said, “Shashi Tharoor should not contest elections. He is an international person. “Here the candidate should be chosen by consensus. We are still requesting Rahul Gandhi to become the Congress President. Another MP, Benny Behnan, said, “I don’t think Shashi Tharoor will fight and he will follow the instructions of the party high command.”
