Democratic Reboot
By all accounts, South Korea’s presidential election has been less about political ambition than it has been a referendum on the state of democracy itself.
Senior Congress leader Sashi Tharoor MP has on Friday said let the party leadership decide whether there should be an election for the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
Speaking to media persons here, Tharoor said it is the party leadership, who is to decide whether Congress working Committee (CWC) are to be chosen through election or not. He said he is not interested in participating in the CWC election and it is “for others to step forward”.

“I’m not interested in any position for myself, it was to make a certain point and stand up for certain principles that I contested for the party president’s post. I feel I made my point, now it is for others to step forward,” Sashi Tharoor said.
