Ahead of the election of the Congress president, Shashi Tharoor today met party's interim chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence, hours after he endorsed a petition by younger members seeking 'constructive reforms' in the Congress.
Shashi Tharoor endorsed a petition by a group of young party members seeking reforms, as well as a pledge by candidates for Congress chief to implement the party's Udaipur declaration, on Twitter. The petition had over 650 signatures at the time he posted it on Twitter. He did not disclose what transpired during the meeting with Sonia Gandhi. The meeting comes amid indications that Tharoor may contest the Congress president's election and may file his nominations which will begin on September 25. The notification for the Congress president’s election will be out on September 22.
Senior leaders JP Agarwal, Avinash Pande and Deepender Hooda also met Sonia, three days before issuance of the notification for the party president’s election.
