Shashi Tharoor wished the newly elected Mallikarjun Kharge all success. He also alleged that there were irregularities in the voting and his team suspected voter fraud in the state of UP. They alleged that there were delegates who were not present in the Lucknow area on the day of voting and their votes were cast. There were complaints from people about not being allowed to cast their votes since others had already cast their votes.

It was a privilege to have received the support of over a thousand colleagues,& to carry the hopes& aspirations of so many well-wishers of Congress across India, he tweeted and shared his message.
