AHEAD of the party's presidential poll, the rift in the Congress seems to have deepened, with some Pradesh Congress Committees (PCC) declaring support for Mallikarjun Kharge over Shashi Tharoor.
The Thiruvananthapuram MP is taking on the senior leader in the race for the top post. The election will be held on October 17 and the last date of withdrawal of nomination is October 8.
Though the party's central election authority issued guidelines barring office bearers from campaigning for candidates contesting the election, PCCs in Telangana and Kerala openly announced support for Kharge on the same day. Releasing a set of guidelines on Monday, the CEC said that those who wish to campaign for the candidates have to resign from their organisational post.
