Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has favoured limiting the term of office for State presidents in the party and called for Congress to be revived and re-energised to take on BJP in the 2024 general elections.
Denying rumours that he may opt out of the presidential race due to meagre support, Mr. Tharoor said he was very much in the fray and has been receiving support from various quarters.
“My message is revive the party, re-energise it, empower workers, decentralise authority and be in touch with the people. This, I believe will make Congress politically fit to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP in the 2024 general election,” Mr. Tharoor said during his interaction on October 6 with media persons at Sathyamurthy Bhavan, the Congress state headquarters.
