New Delhi: After all, the same thing happened, which the political pundits were anticipating from the beginning. Mallikarjun Kharge has won the Congress Presidential election after 22 years, that too unilaterally. Shashi Tharoor, who is considered to be the dynamic leader of the Congress, did not stand anywhere in the contest in front of him. Kharge got 7,897 votes out of 9,385 votes, while Shashi Tharoor, who was contesting against him, had to be happy with just 1,072 votes. At the same time, 416 votes were declared invalid. Earlier, Tharoor had also made allegations of rigging in the elections and had also raised questions on Ashok Gehlot campaigning for Kharge, but he was not listened to. Because, Shashi Tharoor was also a member of the rebel Congress faction G-23, who was trying to advise the Gandhi family. Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal were also in this group, but they said goodbye to the party while looking for a way to reform the Congress. 

Did Kejriwal make a mistake by calling Manish Sisodia 'Bhagat Singh'?

Let us inform you that, even after passing resolutions in three states, after persuading many leaders, when Rahul Gandhi was not ready to take the risk of re-presidency after forgetting the defeat of 2019, then after 20-22 years in the Congress this post. The role of holding elections was created, but family and political interests dented that too. To wash away the charge of familism, the Gandhi family pulled back from the election, but the control of the chair remained in their hands, so all the tricks were done by staying behind the scenes. Kharge's sudden appearance or re-election was an indication of the fact that he had received instructions from above. 
 
The way Mallikarjun Kharge had unintentionally become the official candidate of the party, political pundits were speculating that the result of the election had already been written. Actually, the Gandhi family wanted to put someone on the throne, who would not even call a meeting to discuss the decision, far from taking any decision without them. Kharge himself had said on the question of the Gandhi family having a remote control that he will continue to take the support and guidance of the Gandhi family to run the Congress.

In fact, merit is constantly being ignored in Congress, leaders like Sachin Pilot, and Shashi Tharoor are vivid examples of this, who can develop the ideology of the party among the youth today, and give new life to the Congress, but the Gandhi family is remote. The strong desire to hold it in their hands pushes them back. Because it is possible that instead of carrying out every order without thinking, they question it and these questions have been passed to the family who ordered for decades. Whether Kharge is able to become a Sanjeevani for the Congress, only time will give answer to this question, but he will definitely remain a trusted friend of the Gandhi family and the high command will continue to dominate the chair. On the other hand, Shashi Tharoor will definitely be disappointed with this attitude of the Gandhi family and what action they take next, it will be worth watching.
