Some leaders openly supporting Kharge disturbs level-playing field: Tharoor on Congress prez poll

New Delhi, 13/10: Congress presidential candidate Shashi Tharoor on Thursday lamented that some leaders had openly come out in support of his poll opponent Mallikarjun Kharge and even summoned meetings in his favour, saying it disturbed the level-playing field.

The Thiruvananthapuram MP also said several PCC chiefs and senior leaders were not available for a meeting with him during his visits to their respective states, but they warmed up to Kharge when he visited them for support.

Seeking votes from delegates at the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) office here, Tharoor said he wanted to bring a “change” in the organisation.
