[Alex-uvms]

Another step towards 'congress mukt bharat'. This party is now being controlled by a bunch of clowns and boot lickers of those clowns. RIP congress 😂😂

[jai_ji]

No more Congress, this is the final nail in the coffin of congress 😑😑

[shuhailvelluparambath]

Congrats Mr. Tharoor you have won millions of hearts. 😍🏆

[earthlng]

This is not Tharoor's defeat, it's the Congress parties' lose. AAP, BJP, and Gandhi's will be celebrating.

What a classy man congratulating the new president ! In every way you shine, Dr Tharoor. Your books and talks resonate with vision and wisdom. You’re already paving a way for better days for India in your words and actions. May the lord bring you the much deserved leadership you are worthy of in time. India will shine with you. Jai Hind🇮🇳

Congrats to Tharoor. Even though he lost, he contributed more to congress party. He fought till the results and brought a new vigour to the party. Hope now all of them will move forward more dynamically.

[HaHaHaHoHoHo]

Celebration time for BJP as they will retain their dominance in upcomingyears. Celebration at AAP as they will soon be the second biggest party in India.

This is heartfelt for Tharoor😰😰 of all the great things he has done for the congress party, it seems like the sign of downfall of Congress in India...congress party would have been change and regain the power in the next few coming years if Tharoor was there on the chair...YOU LOST THE ELECTION STILL YOU WON A MILLION HEARTS👍👍

[arpanguria]

Shashi Tharoor is a much better candidate than Kharge. If he had won, a new fresh breeze wouldve blown in Congress. However, everyone knows it's a manipulated victory.

[deivasigamani]

Mr Sasi Tharoor can made one of the WORKING PRESIDENT.

[Vazhipokkann]

Everyone gets a second chance to correct their mistakes.. Congress successfully ruined it today ..

[NDO]

Congress is going down in history as a political party that dug it’s own grave. Let’s hope that the citizens of India somehow manage to save themselves. I can’t even encourage them to vote for Congress. A party unable to make a wise decision for themselves won’t have it to make the country better.

[sanakauser]

RIP congress. Sashi ji is a gem...he deserves something far better than congress

[AdarshBalak]

He just participated for the sake of it.. everybody knew that he isn't winning tbh.

[dashone]

[jaihoindia]

Good sir... no sad to feel.. work in unity
