New Delhi: Congress leader Shashi Throor Thursday informed that he will focus on bringing back those voters who did not remain with Congress in 2014 and 2019 after becoming president of the grand old party.
“Do you want party to go with change or are you satisfied with everything? If you think everything is fine, don’t vote for me as I want such a change in the party that would bring back voters who didn’t remain with us in 2014 and 2019,” said Shashi Tharoor, one of the two candidates for Congress’ chief polls.

Earlier this month, Tharoor had iterated that Mallikarjun Kharge will not be able to bring change in the system, instead he will continue with the existing one.
“We are not enemies, it is not a war. It’s a poll for our party’s future. Kharge Ji comes in top 3 leaders of Congress party. Leaders like him cannot bring change and will continue the existing system. I’ll bring change as per expectations of party workers,” said Tharoor.
