Congress Only Party to Hold Democratic Internal Election: Party Spokesperson
The Congress is set to have a non-Gandhi president for the first time in over 20 years. "We are the only party which is now going to hold democratic elections (for the top post in the party) in Indian politics," said Rohan Gupta, Congress spokesperson. Ashok Gehlot, a Gandhi family loyalist, will run for party president opposite Shashi Tharoor, who is among those in the party who want major internal reforms.
