"Proof Of Pudding Is In...": Shashi Tharoor On Congress' Huddle Outcomes

Shashi Tharoor on Congress Chintan Shivir: Shashi Tharoor, among the group of 23 leaders who had written to party chief Sonia Gandhi in 2020 seeking large-scale reforms, said "reformists" at the end of the day wanted a more consultative process.

Describing the party's Chintan Shivir as an exercise in reform and revival, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” and it remains to be seen whether the “process” will end up where many leaders wanted it to.

Shashi Tharoor, among the group of 23 leaders who had written to party chief Sonia Gandhi in 2020 seeking large-scale reforms, said “reformists” at the end of the day wanted a more consultative process where a wide variety of voices would be heard and taken into account before decisions were made.

“If such discussions occur in the proposed advisory council, the purpose would have been served," he told PTI in an interview.

But that remains to be seen, Mr Tharoor added.
