We Need to Find an Active and Full-Time Leadership: Shashi Tharoor

  • Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said that the party should fix its leadership issues on top priority to address the growing perception among the people that the party is "adrift."
  • He also said if Rahul Gandhi doesn't return as party chief then the party needs to find an "active and full-time leadership."
  • Tharoor said, "We need to start with a longer-term, as opposed to interim, Congress president, as well as the 'elected' membership of the Working Committee." 
  • He also said the need of the hour is to find a new president and leadership through a transparent and democratic electoral process. 
  • Tharoor hoped that those who are currently against the idea of elections for CWC recognize that a participatory electoral process is an exercise in inner-party democracy that will strengthen the party.
