The election to elect the Congress chief from outside the Gandhi family has been in the news due to many reasons. The vote counting was started just a while ago. The election result would be announced today. Ahead of this, one of the contestants Shashi Tharoor made some stunning allegations.

Shashi Tharoor’s team alleged that there are a few irregularities in the votes casted and raised many doubts about the votes polled from Uttar Pradesh. After making allegations about the votes, the team demanded that the votes from the state should be canceled.

The issue reached a point where Shashi Tharoor’s team has written to the Congress leadership on the issue and the leadership assured that a detailed inquiry would be called. After the assurance, Shashi Tharoor’s team gave their nod for the continuation of the vote counting.

However, the allegations raised by Shashi Tharoor raised doubt if the allegations are true or not. For the past few days, it has been said that Mallikarjun Kharge is supported by the Gandhi family and he is on a better stage compared to Tharoor as far as the elections are concerned.

A few observers raise doubt on whether Shashi Tharoor made the allegations seeing that Mallikarjun Kharge is having an advantage over him in the polls. Besides reports on Mallikarjun Kharge having the support of the Gandhi family, he is also supported by many senior leaders who campaigned for him.

The recent elections to elect the chief of the All India Congress Committee is very crucial as for the first time a non-Gandhi family member is going to lead the party after over two long decades. People are eagerly waiting to know who would win the polls and lead the party.

Amid this, Shashi Tharoor made sensational allegations that there might be a few irregularities in the votes polls in Uttar Pradesh and that the votes polled there should be considered canceled.

His allegations are receiving mixed reactions. While a few say that there might be a few irregularities as the Congress delegations want to see a Gandhi party loyalist leading the party. The other section says that there are no such irregularities and he made these knowing he might lose the polls.
