Rajdeep Sardesai Analyses The Battle For Congress President Post Featuring Shashi Tharoor & Gehlot

Amidst reports that MP Shashi Tharoor is considering contesting for the post of the Congress national president, party leaders in his home state Kerala Tuesday indicated that the state unit is in favour of Rahul Gandhi becoming the chief.

Senior Congress leader and former Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala told the media in Alappuzha that the general feeling of the party in Kerala is that Rahul Gandhi, also the MP from Wayanad in northern Kerala, should become the president. “The state unit of the party has not suggested any candidate. The massive turnout of the people and the party workers during the Bharat Jodo Yatra demonstrates the support for Rahul. It is up to Tharoor to speak out whether he is contesting to become the party national president,’’ said Chennithala. Earlier, the Congress units in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat had passed resolutions to make Rahul the party chief.

Tharoor presidency will result in the revival of congress.

[lukosecheruvalel]

The President of a party occupies an organizational role. This is a hierarchical leadership role.And this calls for special competencies. On the other hand, every party and organization also needs charismatic and inspirational leaders. It is good that inspirational charismatic leaders are different from hierarchical leaders. Rahul has many strengths to be inspirational....the strongest of which is his commitment to the secular democratic ideology of Congress.

[ashokbajjera]

Doesn't matter who. What matters is who will be their PM candidate. If the PM candidate for 2024 is not one of them ie Tharoor nor Gehlot, Cong has some real issues aka 'non-serious' issues to worry about.

[ashrafchowki]

What is PappU s credentials and qualifications to lead India. Was he in any capacity as a minister in his career?

[premakumar]

We need a man like Shashi who is well respected all over the world who has every Indian's back. He is intelligent and is the best person to lead our great developed Nation. He will have the backs of every Indian. He will have the backs of every Indian no matter whether they are rich or poor or whether they are from diverse religious backgrounds. That's what makes my great India stand out. It's full of diversity and yet the need of the hour is to stay united no matter what. That's who we are as proud Indians.

[sreenii]

T Siddique is not Kerala Congress President. Atleast check the facts

[princelone]

If Congress want to come in power in 2024 gen elections then non Gandhian figure should lead the congress.preferably Shashi Tharoor is a nice and deserving candidate to hold the Congress president post.
