"Aspects Suggest Uneven Playing Field": Shashi Tharoor On Congress Poll
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor Sunday conceded the party's quest to elect a new chief - its first non-Gandhi boss in 23 years - was off to a shaky start with the introduction of a pro-establishment candidate in his opponent Mallikarjun Kharge.
"There are some aspects that suggest an uneven playing field," he said at an NDTV townhall in Mumbai, disclosing some leaders had told him they were "under pressure" to back Mr Kharge, seen as choice of the Gandhis.
