The MP for Thiruvananthapuram, Dr. Shashi Tharoor, lost the election for the post of Congress President against his comrade Mallikarjun Kharge. But he managed to secure immense political prestige in the process.

Serving thirteen years in the world of politics, Tharoor bagged about 1072 votes out of 9385 votes, which is a quite comforting figure to him. However, he was defeated by Kharge, who secured around 7897 votes in the presidential poll. The remaining 416 votes were dissolved.

In an interview after the declaration of the poll results, Shashi Tharoor claimed, “Our party did not hold polls for 22 years. In an election of this nature, there were bound to be glitches. Leadership by and large stayed with Mr. Kharge. It’s not surprising if you’ve to choose between change and continuity and if you are part of continuity, why would you want change.”

Tharoor also expressed his happiness for the Congress Party and congratulated Kharge on his victory. He said, “I always wanted to strengthen the party because strengthening the Congress is very important for the country.” Regarding Kharge, he professed, “He is a senior leader and will always guide the party. I’m extremely happy as over 1000 delegates voted for me. Our workers are the real pride of our party.”

All the admirers of Shashi Tharoor will undoubtedly agree on one fact: the man is extremely dedicated and always ready to face any kind of obstacle before him.

Here are the most impactful lines Tharoor said in his video.
