Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, endorsed on Twitter a petition by a group of young party members seeking reforms

Shashi Tharoor, who is believed to be considering running for Congress president, met with Sonia Gandhi today, shortly after giving his public approval to a petition seeking reforms in the party. I welcome this petition that is being circulated by a group of young @INCIndia members, seeking constructive reforms in the Party. It has gathered over 650 signatures so far. I am happy to endorse it & to go beyond it. https://t.co/2yPViCDv0vpic.twitter.com/waGb2kdbTu

The Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram endorsed on Twitter a petition by a group of young party members seeking reforms and a pledge by candidates for Congress chief to implement the party's Udaipur declaration.

The "Udaipur declaration" adopted by the Congress leadership in May sums up the party's commitment to fair internal elections and rules that allow one candidate per family and one person per post, besides a five-year cap on posts.
