Congress leader Shashi Tharoor at the NDTV townhall in Mumbai spoke on a wide range of issues linked to the party ahead of the party President's election. One of the key points he made was an allusion to an 'official' non-official Congress candidate, Mallikarjun Kharge, who the Kerala MP considered a veteran leader with solid backing of his peers. Mr Tharoor said he is only a simple citizen who enjoys the support of the common people.
