Tharoor's victory decides the destiny of We, the youth wants Tharoor as the AICC president

[Dravidian-Secularism]

If gharge wins - congress party will go in history books😂

[semsaiz]

If this man is becoming congress president. It's the end of grand old party

[noblejohn]

Yes Kharghe should withdraw in favour of sashi Tharoor as he is peoples choice..

[arunjkz]

If you need consensus, then drop out yourselves and get lost.

[ktwliyv]

Khargeji is a senior most member.He has sacrificed so much for the party.He will become mahatma if he can bring consensus by withdrawing from contest.

[globalcare]

If you want consensus then better you withdraw kharge....

[anthonydsena]

We are with Shashi Thatoor. The people are with Shashi Tharoor. This man can't even win his own seat

[prasanthmohan]

Shashi Tharoor is the Apt person to take forward congress. Otherwise that is the end of congress party

[alfd]

Why shud Tharoor lose out without a fight. Come on

[dr.sijugeorge]

Very true
Pls make a consensus and withdraw your candidacy
Let Shashi Tharoor become the President
So there will not be any election
Kamaraj way

[balumaliakel]

If Congressman want this grand old party to be revived go for a change. This 80 old year loyalist will not be able to do this.

[vanjamomurry]

Yes Mr. Kharge is right, he should withdraw his candidate and elect Dr. Tharoor who is the consensus candidate for the post.

[eenPost]

At his 80s he's not in the mood to handover the baton to the younger generations. Shashi Tharoor must go for an election, if he really want a change whether a win or lose.

[shubhonkarparamanick]

Yes, Kharge is right and he should withdraw.

[paramasivammaruthanayagam]

It seems Kharge is a senseless person. The party has called nomination as if they strictly follow democratic procedure and Sashi has filed his nomination. Even before becoming victorious he takes things for granted. Only these type of leaders are destroying the party. No chance of survival for INC.

[manomohanm]

then you should step back and select Tharoor as a consensus candidate..

[DRB]

This is a litmus test for RaGa and his mummy too whether the family stands by the chaplus Mr. Kharge or the intellect Dr. Shashi Tharoor.

[ach]

Congress is going bad to worst each day from its inability to make change. There's little hope left for the Congress..or perhaps they have already passed the threshold of point of return to never returning to power henceforth.

[f.f.truthjustice]

Consensus candidate, or nominated....Why did the high command not try to elect a new president for the last several years? Now it is too late, we, the voters want to see who is a better fighter or who all are supporting whom, and why? We, the voters are the commanding force. Only 52 seats scored in last election..strategy of present high command is failed miserably, We want a change.
