Thiruvananthapuram MP exudes charisma and talent, while the 80-year-old's experience comes laden with Dalit symbolism and trust of Nehru-Gandhi family.

This gesture prompted a strong Kharge supporter to say: “While Kharge’s experience and seniority cannot be ignored, Tharoor is a brilliant candidate who enhances the value of the Congress. Kharge being a senior leader from Karnataka, a nine-term MLA and two-term MP, his elevation to the post of party president is expected to bolster the Congress’s prospects in the state. The old practice of inviting an eminent person to preside over the annual session of the Congress and that person holding office till the next annual session was remarkable. Tewari appealed to Tharoor to withdraw from the race. Although Tharoor exudes charisma and talent, Kharge’s seniority and experience come laden with Dalit symbolism and the trust of the Nehru-Gandhi family. Although the Congress had claimed there was no “official” candidate, the kind of support Kharge received while filing his nomination on Friday left no doubt about the party’s collective will.

I am proud to say that I have ordinary party workers for most part and just a handful of senior leaders who filled my nomination form. He pitched it as a contest between the senior leadership that believes in status quo and the ordinary workers who want change. That was a particularly unfortunate situation, but I am not sure it is necessarily typical.
