`Sonia Gandhi has LAST WORD in party`s internal politics`: Former Congress leader Ashwani Kumar on Mallikarjun Kharge`s election as party president

Ashwani Kumar also lauded Shashi Tharoor for taking on the challenge to contest the top Congress post and said he is no loser. "The election process is a victory for him. He invested his energy in making a political statement by walking the talk. He has clearly outshone most of his once-upon-a-time colleagues in the G-23 grouping and has positioned himself as a challenger," Kumar said.
