12 Of 700 Congress Delegates Turn Up For Shashi Tharoor's Chennai Campaign
Shashi Tharoor, running for the post of the first non-Gandhi president of the Congress in more than two decades, got a very cold shoulder from party delegates in Tamil Nadu today. The 66-year-old was in Chennai to seek support of the 700-plus Congress delegates from the state who can vote in the election. But only 12 or so attended the meeting, held at Sathiamoorthy Bhavan, the party's state headquarters in Chennai.
