Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is exploring the possibility of running for the post of party president though he is yet to take a final call on it, reported PTI quoting sources. They said Tharorr has not made up his mind but could take a call on it soon. While Tharoor declined to comment on whether he would throw his hat into the ring, he has written an article for the Malayalam daily Mathrubhumi in which he called for a "free and fair" election. In the article, he said ideally the party should have announced elections also for the dozen seats on the CWC itself which are supposed to be elected.
