Shashi Tharoor: Some leaders running campaign to imply there is a 'favoured' candidate

Congress presidential candidate Shashi Tharoor on Thursday reiterated his remark of "uneven playing field" in the party elections and lamented the "difference in treatment" meted out to him by some state chiefs during campaigning. Tharoor's challenger Mallikarjun Kharge, who is considered to be a favourite to win the race to the top post, refused to react to the remarks and played it down. Tharoor, who is seeking votes to bring about a change in the Congress, said several PCC chiefs and senior leaders were not available for a meeting with him during his visits to their respective states, but they warmed up to Kharge when he visited them seeking support.
