Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi, who has just completed one month on the road as part of Bharat Jodo Yatra, said both the candidates in the fray for the post of Congress president — Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor — are persons of stature and neither of them will be “remote-controlled.”
Answering a question on the BJP's claim that whoever wins the elections to the post of Congress president would be “remote-controlled” by the Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi said both contestants were persons of stature, perspectives and understanding. He was addressing a press conference at Turuvekere, along the route of the Padayatra which is in its 31st day.
