Indian Congress: Quest For Change

So the Indian National Congress (INC) has elected a president who does not come from the Nehru-Gandhi clan that commanded the 137-year-old organisation for a combined period of 75 years. Mallikarjun Kharge carries an overweight baggage of organisational decline recorded particularly during the past one and a half decades. He had no difficulty in defeating Shashi Tharoor, a noted writer, at 66, distinctly younger than the 80-year old veteran.
