New Delhi, 2/10: Mallikarjun Kharge pitched for a consensus on Congress president election when rival candidate Shashi Tharoor telephoned him recently but decided not to force him after the senior MP, whom he described as his “younger brother”, insisted on a democratic fight.
Launching his bid for Congress president post on Gandhi Jayanti on Sunday by visiting Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial Rajghat, Kharge said he has not entered the polls to oppose anyone but to strengthen the party. He said he was encouraged by young and old leaders from several states to enter the fray after the Gandhis refused to enter the October 17 polls.
