The Indian Youth Congress backing out of an event that Tharoor was to address does not speak well of the claims of the grand old party about inner-party democracy.
The Congress has responded to allegations by party leader Shashi Tharoor that there were irregularities in the election to the party chief's post held on Monday.
Three days ahead of the voting for the election of the Congress President, a major controversy has erupted here after Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sought votes for candidate Malkarjun Kharge flouting guidelines of the party's Central Election .
Gehlot on Thursday shared a video message on social media appealing for Kharge s win. This is being considered open campaigning in favour of Kharge, whereas according to the guidelines of the Congress Election Authority (CEC), no candidate can do this while holding the position of leader of the legislature party.The
