Tharoor was a part of that group of 23 leaders who had written a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi in 2020 seeking organisational reforms. Speaking to The Indian Express the day before he filed his nomination, Tharoor indicated that he had an inkling of what would follow. On Friday, Tharoor described the G-23 as a media creation, and that such a group had never met together even once. I think they cannot even decide for the 23, how can they decide for 9,100-odd people (delegates)?” he said. AdvertisementKharge’s nomination papers also had the signatures of Mukul Wasnik and Akhilesh Prasad Singh as proposers – both were among the signatories on the G-23 letter two years ago.
