President Election

As the Congress picks its first non-Gandhi president in 25 years, Mr Kharge, 80, is the candidate backed by the Gandhis and is almost certain to be elected.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will start his campaign for the party president's election by visiting the Deekshabhoomi monument in Nagpur on Saturday.

As Mallikarjun Kharge formally joined the Congress president election by filing his nomination papers today, he had 30 backers including Ashok Gehlot, previously the front-runner.

Shashi Tharoor, who squares off with Mallikarjun Kharge in the October 17 Congress president election, revealed today that Sonia Gandhi told him "you are most welcome to contest" and assured him there would be no "official candidate".
